          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS OLD BUSINESS AND THERE'S THREE ITEMS THAT WE WILL GO OVER FOR THIS EVENING ARE ITEM FIVE PERTAINS TO THE STATUS ON THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE BUDGET. 
          AND BASICALLY AS YOU BRIEFLY REVISIT THIS AGAIN, BASED ON THE LAST MISSION MEETING THAT WE'VE HAD ON DECEMBER 3RD OF LAST YEAR, WHERE IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION, THAT THERE IS $1,000 ALLOCATED FOR USE AS A WHOLE. 
          I KNOW THAT WE HAD FORECASTED INITIALLY $8,000 AND $8,000 INCLUDED 3000 FOR TRAINING FOR VARIOUS SPEAKERS TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR QUARTERLY, UM, FORUMS. AND THE OTHER AMOUNT WAS FOR $5,000 TO TRAIN THE HEBREW HEIGHTS, CITY EMPLOYEES AND COMMISSION MEMBERS ON CULTURE AND DIVERSITY EDUCATION. 
          SO BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF THE CURRENT BUDGET AS A WHOLE FOR THE COMMISSION, UM, HOW DO WE PROPOSE? WE WANT TO SCALE 
          [00:05:01]
THE 8,000 THAT WE HAVE PROJECT. 
          I KNOW, UM, I KNOW THE BIG NAME, PEOPLE THAT I HAD MENTIONED WILL NOT DO IT FOR LESS THAN A THOUSAND. 
          SO I THINK THAT WOULD TAKE OUT LIKE KAREN TOWNSEND AND THE BIGGER GROUPS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. 
          UM, SO I, I SUGGEST WE MAY DO IS, UM, THERE ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THE GROUP SUCH AS, UM, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME CAM. 
          I THINK THAT'S, HIS NAME IS THE ONE, UM, THAT YOLANDA WE BROUGHT UP, UH, BRETT, BRIAN, I THINK THAT'S HIS NAME FROM OUR MEETING WITH THE MIAMI VALLEY, REGIONAL AUTHORITY, UH, HUMAN RELATIONS COUNCIL THAT THEIR DIVERSITY PERSON, BECAUSE WE ARE A PAID MEMBER OF THAT ORGANIZATION. 
          THE CITY IS SO MAYBE WE CAN USE HIM TO DO A AT TRAINING OR A TALK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HIS POSITION WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, AND EITHER HE CHARGES US IF HE CHARGES US A LOT LESS OR FREE, BECAUSE WE ARE MEMBERS OF THAT PARTICULAR. 
          OKAY. 
          SO CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN, I'M SORRY, THE NAME AGAIN? I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME. 
          HE'S THE, THE NEWLY HIRED DIVERSITY COUNCIL GUY. 
          DIVERSITY GUY. 
          WHAT IS THE MIAMI VALLEY? REGIONAL PLANNING. 
          COMMISSION PLANNING. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          HE'S THERE, HE'S THERE DIVERSITY GUY. 
          SO WE CAN, UM, LIKE I SAID, SINCE WE ARE MEMBERS OF THAT COMMISSION, UM, MAYBE THE CITY IS, AND NANCY BERGE SITS ON THAT BOARD, THAT COMMISSION, MAYBE WE CAN REACH OUT TO HER OR TO HIM DIRECTLY AND SEE IF HE'S WILLING TO DO A TRAINING, A COMMUNITY TRAINING OR TALK. 
          AND I WOULD THINK HE WOULD PROBABLY DO IT AS PART OF THE MIAMI VALLEY, REGIONAL COMMISSION AND US BEING A, A MEMBER OF THAT FOR FREE OR AT A VERY MINIMAL COST. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT WAS, THAT WAS, UH, THAT WAS A PERSON I WAS THINKING THAT WE COULD, UM, WE COULD ELICIT HELP FROM, CAUSE HE'S HELPING, I GUESS HE'S GOING TO HELP US WITH OUR SURVEY TOO. 
          SO IT'S LIKE, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FROM OUR LAST MONTH'S MEETING WITH THE, THE REST OF THE GROUP. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA. 
          CAUSE I KNOW THAT IN, UM, THE MEMORANDUM THAT WAS ISSUED BY THE COMMISSION, IT HAD TALKED ABOUT RACISM BEING A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. 
          AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TOPIC, YOU KNOW, IF HE, YOU KNOW, HAS, UM, RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL, THAT COULD BE GOOD. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND WE CAN ALSO REACH OUT TO THE, UM, THE CITY OF DAYTON, SOME HUMAN RELATIONS COUNCIL, ERICA, I THINK ERICA FIELDS. 
          IS THAT HER LAST NAME WHO DIRECTS THAT ERICA? UM, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW EITHER. 
          I DON'T REMEMBER HER LAST NAME. 
          I THINK IT'S FIELDS, IT'S SORT OF HER IS HER FULL NAME, BUT UM, THEY ALSO, THE DATE AND HRC ALSO DOES DIFFERENT TALKS AND DIFFERENT COMMUNITY TRAININGS. 
          I KNOW WE'RE NOT DATING, BUT WE ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST STATE AND SUBURBS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AND UM, IT COULD BE ANOTHER GROUP, ANOTHER ORGANIZATION THAT WE COULD REACH OUT TO, TO DO SOME TRAINING. 
          THAT'S EITHER FREE BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THEIR WORK OR, UM, OR LIKE I SAID, VERY MINIMAL COST CARE. 
          WELL I LOVE KAREN TOWNSEND AND I, AND I LOVE HER MESSAGE. 
          AND, AND I LIKE, UM, SOME OF THE OTHER GROUPS THAT I'VE LOOKED AT, THE SPEAKERS, THEY ARE MORE OF THE WELL-KNOWN SPEAKERS AND THAT'S THEIR MAIN CAREERS SPEAKING IS DOING THESE TRAININGS. 
          SO THEY CHARGE QUITE A BIT, WHICH IS FAIRLY THEY CHARGE. 
          BUT WITH A LIMITED BUDGET THAT WE HAVE, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE, OH, YOU KNOW, BE MORE RESOURCEFUL THAN TO LOOK AT OTHER TRAINERS THAT WE COULD USE. 
          RIGHT QUESTION. 
          DO WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH KAREN WOULD CHARGE? BECAUSE IF WE THINK IT'S THAT OUR MESSAGE IS GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY, WHY DON'T WE JUST PUT TOGETHER AN EVENT, A BUDGET OR A BUDGET FOR AN EVENT, AND THEN SUBMIT THAT THROUGH THE COMMISSION AND SEE IF WE CAN GET IT FUNDED. 
          UM, IN THAT CONVERSATION, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE IS MONEY FOR THINGS IT'S JUST ALLOCATED IN DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT LINE ITEMS THAT THEY COULD USE FOR DIFFERENT PARTS IS LET ME, UM, I CAN, IN THE MORNING, I'LL REACH OUT TO KAREN AND ASK HER TO GIVE US, UM, TO START THAT CONVERSATION WITH HER AND SHE CAN GIVE US AN ESTIMATE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT WAY 
          [00:10:01]
WE KNOW IT, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT COMPLETELY RULING HER OUT, SO THAT WAY WE AT LEAST GET THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO DO SPEAKERS FOUR TIMES A YEAR. 
          SO I MEAN, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR US TO DO SOMETHING ON BEHALF OF THIS COMMITTEE OR THE COMMITTEE, UM, IN FEBRUARY, FEBRUARY, UM, IN PASSABLE FOR A BLACK HISTORY MONTH. 
          BUT IF NOT, DEFINITELY BY MARCH AND I BELIEVE THIS TOPIC VEHICLE BASED ON THE CURRENT PURPOSE AND MISSION, NOT ONLY FOR THIS COMMITTEE BEFORE THE COMMISSION, AS A WHOLE, WHICH Y'ALL AGREE WITH ME ON THAT. 
          I AGREE. 
          THERE'S A, UH, UH, I CAN'T REMEMBER. 
          I KNOW I I'VE GOTTEN, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          MAYBE TRYING TO VOLUME DOWN A LITTLE, SEE IF THAT HELPS. 
          IS THAT BETTER? IT'S STILL AN ECHO, BUT TALK SLOW. 
          YEAH. 
          FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME, BUT HE'S A PASTOR OF ONE OF THE LARGEST, UM, BLACK COMMUNITY CHURCHES IN DAYTON. 
          HE DOES. 
          HE'S A WONDERFUL SPEAKER. 
          I'VE LISTENED TO. 
          I WENT TO TALKS THAT HE DID AT THE MLK LAST YEAR. 
          AND WHEN WE DID THE, UM, WHEN THE PROTESTING STARTED AND THEN, UM, WE DID, UM, HE DID DID ONE. 
          I DID QUITE A FEW TALKS AND I JUST, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME. 
          I'LL HAVE TO LOOK UP HIS NAME AND THEN EMAIL IT TO, TO THE BOTH OF YOU MAYBE. 
          UM, I THINK HE WOULD BE A GREAT SPEAKER TO HAVE FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. 
          HE'S VERY, UM, HE'S, HE'S JUST A VERY, UM, JUST A VERY INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER. 
          SO, UM, I HAVE TO FIND OUT HIS NAME, I FOR LIFE ME, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME, BUT, UM, I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK THROUGH SOME OF MY, SOME OF MY EMAILS AND GET HIS NAME AND, AND, UM, MAYBE I CAN FIND SOME CLIPS OF TEST TALKS THAT HE'S DID. 
          LET ME ASK WHEN WE'RE DOING THIS TRAINING THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON BRINGING IN KAREN TOWNSEND FOR, IS THIS THE TARGET AUDIENCE, THE EMPLOYEES, OR IS IT THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL? I BELIEVE THIS PAST. 
          YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO PAY FOR HER, I THINK WE OPENED IT UP TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS LONG AND THE EMPLOYEES, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL BENEFIT SMALL BUSINESSES AS WELL, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SAID, UM, THAT BRIAN SAID, IF WE LIKE PUT AN EMPHASIS AS SMALL BUSINESS, IT WOULD, UM, WE CAN GET MONEY FROM SOME OF THOSE OTHER AREAS THAT THEY HAVE ALLOTTED FOR, FOR TRAINING. 
          I THINK THIS WOULD FIT INTO THAT SMALL BUSINESS TRAINING SPACE. 
          SOME OF THE EMPLOYERS REALLY HAD, UH, SOME INTERPERSONAL SKILLS AS IT RELATES TO DIVERSITY AND CULTURE. 
          UM, AND IN HUBER HEIGHTS, NOT THAT WE NEED IT, NOT I'M JUST KIDDING, BUT, UM, IT WOULD, UH, IT WOULD ALSO BENEFIT COPES JUST IN GENERAL ON, ON HOW, HOW, HOW TO INTERACT IN PUBLIC SPACES. 
          I THINK IT, I THINK IT'S GREAT BECAUSE IT COULD BE IN RESPONSE TO THAT, THAT OUTRAGEOUS, UM, LETTER THAT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SENT TO ALL THE BUSINESSES WHEN WE HAD THE PROTEST HERE AND THEN THEY ENDED UP BOARDING UP WINDOWS. 
          I MEAN, COME ON. 
          IT JUST WAS. 
          I MEAN, THAT WAS JUST NOT A WAY TO HANDLE THINGS. 
          SO I THINK, UM, THIS IS A GREAT TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESSES AND HUBER BUSINESS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, EMPLOYERS, YOU KNOW, TO, TO HAVE AS WELL. 
          AND THAT WAY SAID IF WE, IF WE ADVERTISE IT AS SUCH, WE CAN USE FUNDING FROM THOSE SOURCES. 
          SO, HMM. 
          I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT WE KEEP THE DATE OPEN BECAUSE WE REALLY SUBJECT TO HER AVAILABILITY RIGHT NOW. 
          WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE'S GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. 
          BE IT JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE SHE DOES, BUT, UM, RUNNING AND ESPECIALLY TRYING TO PREPARE FOR SOMETHING THIS LARGE, UM, MIGHT NEED A LITTLE TIME. 
          SO JANUARY MIGHT BE OFF THE TABLE, BUT, UM, I WOULDN'T, UM, PIGEONHOLE HER INTO, UH, A SPECIFIC DATE OR TIME OF THE MONTH, UH, LIKE BLACK HISTORY MONTH. 
          AND ACTUALLY JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM AN EXTERNAL PERSPECTIVE, IF WE ARE GOING TO ASK PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES TO COME TO THINGS THAT RELATE TO CULTURE AND DIVERSITY, UM, YEAH, FEBRUARY MIGHT BE THE BEST TIME TO DO IT, BUT YOU KNOW, IT, IT MIGHT BE A, UM, A TO HAVE FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO BECAUSE THEY MIGHT SAY, OH, IT'S JUST ANOTHER EVENT FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS, IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE AND WE DON'T WANT IT, THEN WE MAY 
          [00:15:01]
NOT WANT TO HAVE HER THERE IN FEBRUARY, BUT GIVE HER A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO PREPARE FOR MARCH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WOULD YOU SAY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HER BE A FIRST, UM, SPEAKER FOR OUR FIRST FORUM FOR THE QUARTER IN MARCH? OKAY. 
          WELL, ASK, ASK HER, WHEN CAN SHE FACILITATE, UM, UM, WORKSHOP IF YOU WOULD, OR WHATEVER THIS LARGE AND, AND AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO BE VIRTUAL, SO, UH, SHE'S JUST GONNA HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO DO THAT, SO, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE I ALWAYS SAY, UM, MIA, SHE HAD HAVE INFORMATION TO CONTACT HER, DEFINITELY ASK HER WHAT HER AVAILABILITY IS, UM, AND WHAT WOULD BE YEAH, YEAH. 
          HER AVAILABILITY. 
          AND IF BY CHANCE, SHE IS NOT ABLE TO DO A, UM, SERIES FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH, THE PAST STORY THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO, HE COULD POSSIBLY DO, UM, A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, FOR THE QUARTER. 
          THAT WILL BE FINE. 
          WE JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT TOPIC AND HIS AVAILABILITY TO, DOES HE HAVE A FEE? DO YOU KNOW? I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I JUST, I'VE JUST ATTENDED THINGS THAT HE SPOKE TO. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          I DON'T KNOW HIM PERSONALLY, BUT I'LL REACH OUT. 
          I'LL TRY TO SEE WHAT I CAN FIND FROM HIM IN MY PAST EMAILS, FROM THE DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT I'VE ATTENDED. 
          DO YOU REMEMBER CHURCH? UM, CAUSE I'M THINKING IT IS. 
          I DON'T REMEMBER IT AND THAT'S WHY I, I GOOGLED SOME OF THE THING AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE MEGA OR MEGA CHURCH. 
          IT'S I KNOW IT'S ONE OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHURCHES. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT'S UM, SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW. 
          THERE'S I KNOW IT'S A YOUNGER, OLDER, OLDER. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT MIGHT BE A BAITED QUESTION, BUT, UM, I HEARD HE SPOKE ALSO AT, UM, WHEN THEY HAD THE SYNAGOGUE SHOOTING IN PHILADELPHIA. 
          THAT'S WHERE I FIRST HEARD HIM. 
          CAUSE I WENT TO THIS, UH, THAT, THE SYNAGOGUE FOR THEIR, UM, FOR THEIR VERB, UH, VIGIL. 
          AND HE WAS ONE OF THE LEADERS THAT THEY BROUGHT IN FROM ALL. 
          AND THEN I HEARD HE ALSO SPOKE AT, UM, WHEN WE HAD THE KKK HERE IN MAY, THEY DID A, UH, AN EVENT DOWNTOWN ON, ON COURTHOUSE SQUARE AND WAS ALSO ONE OF THE SPEAKERS THERE TOO. 
          SO I'LL HAVE TO GO LOOK AT, SEE, UM, BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY BROUGHT IN THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT RELIGIONS AND DAYTON AT THESE, AT THESE EVENTS, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE HE SPOKE AT THE MLK BREAKFAST. 
          I HAVE TO LOOK IT UP AND OKAY. 
          UM, IF YOU DON'T MIND ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE, MIA, IF YOU CAN REACH OUT TO HIM AS WELL AND SEE WHAT HIS AVAILABILITY IS, IF NOT, BUT I KNOW THAT, UM, LIKE WE COULD, YEAH, WE COULD SEE ABOUT HIM AND UM, YEAH, CAUSE I LIKED FOR US TO DO SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, BY MARCH AND PRESENT TO THE COMMISSION BY NYCLA OUR, UM, PLAN AS FAR AS, UM, YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          I WILL, I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND. 
          OKAY. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          SO GLENN, BACK TO THE BUDGET, I MEAN, AS OF NOW, BECAUSE YOU ALREADY GAVE MATT AND CHAIR OUR PROJECTED BANK YEAR OF EIGHT K. 
          SO DO YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW GONNA HAVE TO SCALE IT ANYWAY, REALIZE OR FIND OUT IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FROM OTHER COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS? I THINK WHAT WE'VE GIVEN THEM AS WHAT WE THINK WE NEED, WHERE, WHERE IT COMES FROM IS NOT REALLY THE PROBLEM OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          UM, IF, IF THAT, IF THOSE RESOURCES ARE GOING TO COME FROM DIFFERENT BUDGET LINE ITEMS AND THAT SORT OF THING, I SAY, LEAVE IT IN OUR BUDGET BECAUSE WE ARE ANTICIPATING NEEDING THAT KIND OF MONEY. 
          WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE SAID THAT WE DIDN'T ASK FOR IT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT'S TRUE BECAUSE WE DID NOT KNOW PRIOR TO THAT TIME, WHAT WE TRULY HAD. 
          SO YEAH. 
          I AGREE. 
          I AGREE. 
          HOW ABOUT YOU MIA DEAN, FOR THAT? WE SUBMIT, I ALWAYS TELL THEM THAT WHEN I DO MY BUDGETS AT WORK SUBMIT HIGH. 
          YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. 
          THAT'S TRUE. 
          THAT'S TRUE. 
          AS A FINANCE PERSON, MYSELF, THAT'S HOW WE KEEP THE EIGHT, THAT WHAT WE SUBMITTED. 
          AND 
          [00:20:01]
LIKE I SAID, THEY MAY NOT, THEY WON'T GRANT ALL THAT AND, UM, WHERE IT COMES FROM, THAT'S THEIR, THAT'S WHERE THEY'LL HAVE TO COME UP WITH, BUT WE SUBMITTED WHAT WE ASKED FOR. 
          SO WHAT WE FEEL THAT'S NEEDED. 
          SO IT'S JUST A SIMPLE REALLOCATION OF FUNDS. 
          THAT'S ALL. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          I'M SURE THEY DO HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW, FROM OTHER COMMISSIONS THAT HAVE A RESERVE. 
          THAT'S WHAT I HAD GOTTEN FROM, UM, BRIAN, I CANNOT PRONOUNCE HIS LAST NAME, BUT THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WAS ON THE LAST COMMISSION CALL. 
          HE DID MENTION THAT VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS FOR THE CITY MAY HAVE RESERVE FUNDS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO UTILIZE THAT MAYBE AVAILABLE FOR US TO USE. 
          SO I'M SURE IT'S THERE. 
          AND THEY HAVE, THE CITY HAS A GENERAL FUND. 
          UM, I GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND LISTEN TO THIS. 
          THEY HAVE A GENERAL FUND THAT THEY CAN PULL, PULL FROM FOR NET FOR THINGS LIKE THE SURVEY THAT WE'RE DOING, BUT WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY PULL MONEY FROM THAT TO COVER THAT. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, SO THEY HAVE THEIR THERE'S WAYS TO A LOT FUNDS FOR, FOR WHAT IT IS I WORKED. 
          I MEAN, FRED, YOU DO THE SAME THING TOO. 
          WE WORK FOR PUBLIC AREAS THAT THEY DO, THERE'S WAYS TO A LOT DIFFERENT FUNNELS. 
          SO. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL I'D DEFINITELY SAY, YOU KNOW, WE KEEP AK AND, YOU KNOW, KEEP ON, UM, ADVOCATING NOW THE NEED FOR IT, BASED ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO FOR THIS COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION. 
          ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM E CULTURE AND DIVERSITY TRAINING. 
          AND FROM THE LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THE SUBJECT AND AGAIN, WE JUST HIGHLIGHT THIS BRIEF REGION IS NOW YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON CULTURE AND DIVERSITY TRAINING FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, BUT ALSO RESIDENTS COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WE JUST NEED TO THINK ABOUT CONSULTANTS THAT WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER, UM, LIVING IN A REASONABLE PRICE RANGE AND AVAILABILITY TO SEE IF THEY COULD PROVIDE THAT TRAINING. 
          AND ALSO WHEN WE WOULD LIKE TO DO IT IN 2021, WELL, WE DISCUSSED, UM, IN A PREVIOUS MEETING HAVING QUARTERLY, UM, TRAINING SESSIONS. 
          SO HE HAD ONE IN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF MARCH, THE NEXT ONE WOULD BE LIKE, UH, APRIL TO DO THE END OF JUNE. 
          UM, SO I MEAN, WE, WE HAVE THE SCHEDULE. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S THE EASY PART OF IT AND WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT IT. 
          MAYBE IF, UH, IF WE DON'T GET KAREN TOWNSEND, UM, THIS QUARTER AND GET ONE OF THE PASTORS, THEN WE CAN SWAP THEM AND BRING ONE IN JUNE AND THEN LET'S FIND ON DIFFERENT TARGET, UM, SOMETHING INSIDE OF THAT CULTURE AND DIVERSITY OR, UH, UMBRELLA, IF YOU WOULD, UM, MAYBE SOMETHING RELATED TO HEALTH DISPARITIES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND BRING SOMEBODY LIKE THAT IN FOR, UM, MARCH, I'M SORRY, NOT MARCH, AUGUST, AND THEN MAYBE HIT SOMETHING ECONOMICS RELATED. 
          AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WHEN EVERYBODY'S GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS AND SPENDING ON, AND THEN THERE ARE FACULTY AND COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT I'M CONNECTED WITH THAT I CAN, UM, THAT I CAN, WE CAN REACH OUT TO THAT I KNOW, UM, THAT I KNOW VERY WELL CAN DO US. 
          UM, I WON'T SAY FOR FREE, CAUSE I ALWAYS HATE TO DO THINGS FOR FREE BECAUSE THEY'D UP THEIR TIME, AT LEAST FOR A VERY MINIMAL MINIMAL FEE. 
          AND THEN WE ARE ALSO GETTING A NEW, UM, IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, WE SHOULD KNOW WHO OUR NEW VICE PRESIDENT OF INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE IS AT ON CAMPUS. 
          SO, UM, AND WE HAVE SOME NEW DIVERSITY PEOPLE ALSO STARTING THIS WEEK TOO. 
          SO THEY, THEIR OPTIONS OF, UM, OF SOME OF THE PROFESSIONALS THAT I WORK WITH TO MY COLLEAGUES THAT CAN DO SOME TRAINING. 
          AND I KNOW YOLANDA'S BUSINESS, UH, I KNOW YOLANDA BEING THE CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION, BUT THAT'S PART OF HER COMPANY AS WELL, TOO. 
          SO SHE WAS WILLING TO DO A TRAINING AS WELL. 
          SO I THINK, I THINK, YEAH, YEAH, WE'VE GOT, THERE'S A LOT OF RESOURCES HERE IN THE DAYTON AREA. 
          WE JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THEM. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S, UM, I THINK THE QUARTERLY THING IS I THINK WE'RE MOVING ON THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          SO WE GET THE FIRST ONE AND THEN SEE HOW THAT GOES AND THEN RIGHT. 
          YEAH. 
          CAUSE EVEN, YEAH, CAUSE EVEN GOING BACK TO YOLANDA, THAT WAS SOMETHING I HAD ASKED HER AS WELL, BASED ON HER BACKGROUND IN HR, IF SHE WOULDN'T MIND DOING A TYPE OF TRAINING, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A MEMBER 
          [00:25:01]
AND CHAIR OF THIS COMMISSION. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, UM, DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, IF SHE IS AVAILABLE AND WILLING TO DO IT, WE CAN CONSIDER HER TO DO THAT. 
          AND I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY BY NEXT MONTH, IF WE CAN HAVE A FINALIST IN PLACE AS FAR AS POTENTIAL SPEAKERS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, THAT WE CAN PLAN AHEAD AS FAR AS POTENTIAL BUDGET, UM, TIME AND ALL THAT STUFF. 
          SO THAT WILL BE AN ACTION ITEM FOR NEXT MONTH'S ME AND ME. 
          I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SEND THE COMMITTEE AN EMAIL WITH THE NAME OF THE PASTOR AND WHAT I FIND OUT FROM KAREN. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL REACH OUT TO EVERYBODY TOMORROW, SO, OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT ITEM. 
          FIVE C IS THE ONLINE RESOURCE DATABASE AND BASICALLY HAS EVERYONE IS AWARE. 
          AND THIS WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST COMMISSION MEETING IN DECEMBER WHERE THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS, WE ARE GOING TO RECOMMEND TO THEM TO PROVIDE ON THE CITY COUNCIL, UM, WEBSITE ON THEIR USEFUL LINKS PAGE, UM, UH, SUB LAKE I'LL CALL IT THAT TO FOCUS ON THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. 
          AND OF COURSE THE OTHER COMMITTEES FOR THE COMMISSION HAVE THEIR LINKS AS WELL. 
          SO TOMORROW EVENING AT THE MEETING, I WILL MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD TO HAVE CITY COUNCILS IMPLEMENT THAT AND ALSO ASK OF A CERTAIN TIMELINE, UM, COSTS. 
          BECAUSE I THINK THAT YOU LONDA WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WELL. 
          IF THERE'S AN INVITE TO THE CITY COUNCIL WEBSITE OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY HAVE A WEBMASTER. 
          UM, I'M ASSUMING I COULD BE WRONG, BUT I THINK HONESTLY THAT I WOULD ASK FOR PART, MAKE IT A PAGE OF THE CITY. 
          SO THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS IS WEBSITE. 
          I DON'T THINK IT WOULD COST ANY MORE TO ADD, TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL PAGE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A DIVERSITY PAGE ANYWAY. 
          I MEAN, LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE THE CITY DIVERSITY STATEMENT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF ON IT RIGHT AWAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT MOST ORDINANCES AND BUSINESSES AND, YOU KNOW, DO, AND OUR CITY DOES NOT HAVE THAT. 
          SO ON THIS, ON THIS LINK ALSO, THEY SHOULD HAVE THE CITY'S DIVERSITY STATEMENT, THE CITY'S, UM, ANY RESOLUTIONS THAT WE PUT OUT ALONG WITH THE EDUCATIONAL LINKS AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO I DON'T, I, UM, HONESTLY I DON'T THINK THAT WILL COST ANY MORE THAN THEY ADD A RESOURCE PAGE, YOU KNOW, TO, TO AN ALREADY EXISTING PRINTER. 
          NOW I'M SAYING THAT AS, FROM MY OWN PAST EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH WEBSITES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CITY USES, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEIR PLATFORM THEY USE OR WHAT COMPANY THEY USE, THE COMPANY THAT THEY USE MAY CHARGE IF THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN IT PERSON. 
          RIGHT. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, EITHER, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S PROBABLY THEIR BUDGET, YOU KNOW, MYSELF, BUT YEAH, IT SHOULDN'T COST THAT MUCH. 
          UM, BUT IF, SO, I'M NOT SURE IF WE NEED TO INCORPORATE THAT IN OUR BUDGET, BUT, UM, NOPE. 
          I DON'T. 
          I HONESTLY I WOULD PUSH FOR NOT TO HAVE THAT INCLUDED IN OUR BUDGET. 
          ONLY FOR THE FACT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO DO ON IT AS PART OF BEING AN INCLUSIVE CITY THAT THEY WANT TO BE PUSHED, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY WANT TO BE IS YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR DIVERSITY STATEMENT. 
          LIKE I SAID, IT WON'T BE JUST OUR LINKS FOR EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. 
          THEY SHOULD PUT THEIR DIVERSITY STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT THAT HAS THE ON IT. 
          AND THAT WOULD JUSTIFY IT BEING A CITY EXPENSE AND NOT OUR PERMISSION TO EXPENSE, PROBABLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN LEAF PICKUP. 
          I AGREE YOU ON THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          I WOULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION ON BEHALF OF OUR COMMITTEE THAT CITY COUNCIL DEFINITELY INCLUDE A SADLY ON THE USEFUL LINK PAGE FOR THIS COMMISSION TO INCLUDE EDUCATION RESOURCES 
          [00:30:01]
FOR TRAINING TO CULTURE AND DIVERSITY. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT INFORMATION WOULD INCLUDE ARTICLES, WEBSITES, THINGS THAT WE THINK THAT ARE PERTINENT YOLANDA. 
          NO. 
          AND THE COMMISSION THOUGH, AND THEREFORE, KATIE KNOW, I SHOULD GO AHEAD AND POST THAT INFORMATION. 
          WE, UM, A LIST OF OUR MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES. 
          KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT TOO. 
          YEAH. 
          I AGREE. 
          PEOPLE CAN, UM, UTILIZE THOSE BUSINESSES AND, AND, AND IT HELPS ALSO SELL THE CITY AS, UM, AS A MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. 
          SO YEAH, THAT'S A GUY. 
          ARE THERE ANY, UM, QUESTIONS ABOUT FIVE? SEE THE ADDITIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          NEXT WE HAVE NEW BUSINESS AND BASICALLY FOR SIX A WEEK KIND OF ALREADY ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS FAR AS TOPICS FOR OUR QUARTERLY FORUMS. SO AS OF NOW, WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON REACHING OUT TO KAREN THOMPSON. 
          YOU WILL HAVE HER AVAILABLE OR THIS QUARTER TO DO A DISCUSSION ON RACIAL SENSITIVITY, UM, PASTOR, UM, AND THE COMMUNITY TO ALSO DO A SESSION AS WELL. 
          AND THIS WILL ALL BE VIRTUAL, I BELIEVE. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK THE FIRST STUDENTS WOULD PROBABLY BE VIRTUAL UNTIL JUNE. 
          UM, AFTER THAT, WE'LL SEE WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO WHAT WOULD, WHAT WOULD THIS, UH, MINISTER, PREACHER PERSON PASTOR, UH, DISCUSS? UH, I DON'T, UM, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I CAN, I CAN, WHEN I FIND OUT WHO HE IS HIS NAME, I CAN LOOK AT SOME OF THE PAST TALKS THAT HE'S DONE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO HE MAY NOT BE A PERSON THAT WE WANT TO BRING IN. 
          IT MAY BE TOO RELIGIOUS OR MAYBE SOMETHING THAT WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BRING IN, BUT I'LL, I'LL INVESTIGATE AND TRY TO FIND OUT INFORMATION ON THAT. 
          AND ALSO I WILL, UM, I'LL ALSO GIVE YOU GUYS SOME OTHER NAMES OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT I KNOW IN THE COMMUNITY THAT I'VE LISTENED, THAT I'VE HEARD SPEAK AND AT DIFFERENT THINGS. 
          AND NOT JUST, UM, LIKE I SAID, NOT JUST ON, ON AFRICAN-AMERICAN ISSUES OR BLACK ISSUES. 
          WELL MAYBE I HAVE, I HAVE LATINO SPEAKERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND STUFF AS WELL. 
          SO I WILL, UM, I WILL LOOK UP SOME OF THOSE THINGS AND GIVE YOU GUYS SOME LINKS AND STUFF TOO, AS WELL AS WHAT I FIND, SO, OKAY. 
          OH, GO AHEAD. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          I WAS JUST THINKING POTENTIAL TOPICS. 
          SO WE LIST A FEW SO WE CAN START KICKING THOSE AROUND, UM, SEEING IF THERE'S SOME FOLKS IN THE AREA WHO MIGHT HAVE SOME EXPERTISE IN WHAT WE NEED. 
          YEAH. 
          I LIKE THAT. 
          YOU'RE SAYING THE SECOND SEMESTER, UH, THE SECOND QUARTER, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A HEALTH SPEAKER ABOUT MINORITY HEALTH BECAUSE APRIL IS ACTUALLY MINORITY HEALTH MONTH. 
          SO THAT MAY BE SOMETHING I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD, JEAN. 
          UM, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I ASKED THE, WHEN WE DO THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND I'M NOT SURE HOW QUICKLY THIS IS GOING TO EXECUTE IT. 
          THAT WILL ALSO GIVE US AN IDEA AS TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY, IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT TOPICS ON CAUTION DIVERSITY, THEY MAY WANT TO HEAR BASED ON DIFFERENT. 
          I LIKE YOUR SUGGESTION. 
          YOU JUST MADE ME AS FAR AS MINORITY HEALTH MONTH. 
          THAT WOULD BE GOOD. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. 
          AND THERE ARE, AND THERE WERE A COUPLE OF SPEAKERS THAT I, UM, THAT I POWERED THROUGHOUT THAT MONTH THAT WE'VE HOSTED. 
          CAUSE YOU KNOW, WE HA WE HOST DIFFERENT THINGS THROUGHOUT CAMPUS TOO. 
          IN THE LAST YEAR. 
          IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE HAD ANY EVENTS, BUT I CAN LOOK UP AND SEE WHO WE'VE HAD DO MINORITY MINORITY HEALTH. 
          CAUSE I KNOW THE, THE DATE AND ASIAN AMERICAN COUNCIL HOLDS A MINORITY HEALTH FAIR EVERY APRIL. 
          SO, AND THEY, THEY HAVE SPEAKERS THAT THEY BRING OUT. 
          THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TOPIC. 
          NOW THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT THIS CONCERN, THE FACT THAT WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH A PANDEMIC, WE COULD POSSIBLY DO A TOPIC THAT FOCUSES ON HOW COVID-19 AFFECTS 
          [00:35:01]
VARIOUS MINORITY GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          WHAT DO YOU Y'ALL THINK ABOUT THAT? I THINK THAT'S, UM, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          CAUSE I KNOW THERE IS A DISPARITY IN THE CARE AND UM, WHAT'S UH, HOW HAS AFFECTED THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN THE LATIN X COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY SO, AND I KNOW THE SPRINGFIELD, THE CLARK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS, UM, HAD SPOKE ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE ABOUT THAT TOO. 
          CAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT GOT HIT WITH THE DOLE BUSINESS, WITH, UM, WITH THE LARGE AMOUNT OF LATINO COMMUNITY IN THAT IN CLARK COUNTY THAT WAS POSITIVE PLUS A POSITIVE. 
          SO, UM, BUT YEAH, THAT'S, THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT'S GOING ACROSS THIS NATION, NOT JUST AROUND HERE, BUT ACROSS THE DISPARITY OF CARE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND THE LATINO COMMUNITY. 
          SO YEAH, I, HEY, YOU ALL ARE IN AGREEMENT. 
          THAT COULD BE A GOOD TOPIC FOR OUR SECOND. 
          YOU'RE BREAKING UP INTO MINORITY HEALTH MONTH. 
          ANYWAY. 
          COULD, COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? UH, JEAN YOU'RE BREAKING UP. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          YEAH. 
          I WAS SAYING THAT, UM, THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR OUR SECOND QUARTER, UM, FAR AS APRIL IS MINORITY. 
          SO I THINK THAT WILL BE GOOD. 
          READ THAT AS WELL. 
          YEAH. 
          I'LL LOOK UP SOME SPEAKER IDEAS TOO AS WELL WHEN I SEND YOU THE EMAIL. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL WE CAN, UM, CAUSE I DO WANT TO GIVE, YOU KNOW, AS PART OF, UM, OUR UPDATE DURING TOMORROW'S COMMISSIONER MEETING, I BELIEVE THAT IS ONE ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA. 
          UM, WE CAN SAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TOPIC ON FOLD 19 AFFECTING MINORITIES AND THE COMMUTE BE A TOPIC ON RACIAL SENSITIVITY POINT AS, UM, AND OUR GOAL IS TO DO RACIAL SENSITIVITY BY THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER AND THEN THE COVID-19 IN 19 FOUR MEN IN THE SECOND REFERRAL IN APRIL. 
          UM, BUT SOME TIME DURING THAT QUARTER TO GET TO THE END OF JUNE FOR THAT ONE. 
          SO IN ADDITION TO THAT, WHAT OTHER TOPICS WOULD WE CONSIDER EXPLORING? OR I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION PROBABLY MENTAL HEALTH, UM, STARTING, STARTING BUSINESSES IN HEBREW HEIGHTS, UH, THAT DOESN'T SOLELY FIT UNDER, UM, CULTURAL ISSUES. 
          IT DOES HELP ECONOMICALLY SO WE CAN, UM, TARGET SMALL BUSINESSES, WHICH I WOULD SAY ARE, UM, UH, PROBABLY ONE OF THE DRIVERS OF OUR ECONOMY, THE BIGGEST DRIVERS ECONOMY IN THE UNITED STATES, A SMALL BUSINESS AND SMALL BUSINESS CREATION. 
          UM, WE COULD EASILY GET SOMEBODY FOR THAT. 
          MAYBE NOT EASY TO BREAK OUT SOME OF THE BENEFITS IN THE CITY, UH, THAT THE CITY WOULD OFFER TO SMALL BUSINESSES WHO ARE STARTING OUT, UH, DO THEY DO TAX ABATEMENTS? I'M NOT SURE. 
          UM, WE CAN TALK ABOUT, BRING SOMEBODY IN TO TALK ABOUT LLCS AND THAT SORT OF THING. 
          AND SOME OF THE PITFALLS THAT THEY CAN AVOID IN CREATING SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE, UH, IN, IN THE CITY. 
          I LIKE THAT ONE BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PANDEMIC, A LOT OF SMALL BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY THEY WERE AFFECTED IN 2020, AND THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO RECOVER IN THE NEW YEAR. 
          SO YEAH. 
          THAT'S EXCELLENT ONE. 
          YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT TO FOCUS ON ECONOMICS, FOCUSING ON HEALTH, MENTAL, UM, RACIAL SENSITIVITY E UH, MENTAL PIECE. 
          DO YOU THINK HE DIES MORE LIKE MENTAL HEALTH? WHEN I SAY MENTAL, OH, RACE, UM, MENTAL HEALTH. 
          AM I BREAKING UP AGAIN? 
          [00:40:14]
YEAH. 
          YOU KEEP FREEZING. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          LET ME TURN. 
          MAYBE IT'S MY, YEAH, NO, I HAD TO, I JUST PULLED UP MY COMPUTER BECAUSE MY PHONE WAS DOING THE SAME THING, SO, SO I TURNED OFF ONE OF MY DEVICES. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK IT'S ME AT WORK. 
          UM, I, CAN YOU GUYS STILL HEAR ME? YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, YEAH, BASICALLY SAYING THAT RACISM, UM, IF YOU ALL AGREE WITH ME ON THIS RACISM IS A MENTALLY ISSUE. 
          SO, UM, AND SEE, AND THAT'S WHERE THAT, UM, THAT NEW, UM, THAT NEW SPEED, THE NEW DIVERSITY DIVERSITY PERSON AT THE, UM, MIAMI VALLEY REGIONAL COMMISSION CAN SPEAK ABOUT IT BEING A, UM, A HEALTH PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE DECLARED IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'D BE EXCELLENT TOPIC AFTER TODAY. 
          GOSH, I JUST PRAY. 
          I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. 
          UM, YEAH, DEFINITELY. 
          UM, THE FIRST TOPIC, RACIAL SENSITIVITY I'LL COVID-19 IS THE THIRD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH AMONG SMALL BUSINESSES SPREAD. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THE LAST ONE RACISM AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE. 
          SO I THINK THAT SOUNDS GOOD FOR THE YEAR. 
          FINE WITH THOSE TOPICS. 
          THE COMMITTEE NEXT ITEM IS SIX, UM, EQUAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OR MISSION PURPOSE STATEMENT. 
          UM, STILL CLEAN MADAM CHAIR. 
          AND SHE DID HAVE ADAM ON THE AGENDA, BUT WE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS AS A COMMITTEE, AS FAR AS OUR GOAL, TRYING TO UNITE THE CITY OF HUBRIS IN TERMS OF HAVING DIFFERENT RESOURCES TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ABOUT CULTURAL DIVERSITY. 
          UM, SO IT PRETTY MUCH ARE GOING TO MEET THAT, UM, GOAL. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          PRIOR TO THE NEXT MEETING, I THOUGHT, OKAY, THERE YOU GO.

          I'M LIKE, I KNOW I HEARD HIM SPEAK. 
          I'VE HEARD HIM SPEAK A COUPLE OF TIMES, SO IT'S LIKE I HEARD HIM SPEAK, BUT, UM, HE WAS, HE JUST WAS A VERY INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER. 
          I MEAN, FOR SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T ATTEND CHURCH REGULARLY, UM, HE MADE ME WANT TO GO. 
          I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CHURCH YOU GO TO VERY, I MEAN, I JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HIM. 
          SO HE WAS VERY, BUT LIKE I SAID, HE COULD BE A POSSIBILITY FOR THE, THE EVENT THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR MLK.

          AND I DON'T THINK NONE OF THEM WERE EVER THE SAME, BUT UM, TH THE ONES THAT ARE THE MOST FUN ARE THE, THE CAPACITY BUILDING GRANTS OR USDA GRANTS. 
          THOSE WERE ALWAYS THE MOST FUN TO DO. 
          I DID THE OHIO HUMANITIES COUNCIL GRANT. 
          THAT'S THE ONLY GRANT THAT I EVER APPLIED FOR. 
          AND THAT ONE WAS A, UM, WAS A DOOZY, TRIED TO GET TOGETHER TO DO THAT, BUT I I'VE HAD SMALLER GRANTS LIKE THROUGH, UM, RIGHT PAT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          AND THAT WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT THAT MANATEE GRANT HAD, WHAT WE HAD TO DO FOR THAT ONE. 
          BUT PART OF MY, UM, DEGREE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M, I'M GOING FOR IS ON MY MASTER'S IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION.

          SO THEY WANT YOU TO DO THIS AT HOME TESTING KIT BEFORE YOU COME ON CAMPUS. 
          SO YEAH, SELF ADMINISTER, YOU KNOW, WHEN I TOOK THAT TEST YESTERDAY, SHE ASKED IF I WANTED TO DO IT MYSELF OR IF I WANTED HER TO DO IT. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY ASKED ME THAT TOO. 
          I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST, JUST DO THE TEST.

          I'M LIKE, OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL THAT THIRD TEST. 
          SO IT WASN'T THAT BAD. 
          THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD TO BE TESTED. 
          BUT THEY, UM, THEY, WE, I JUST, WE WERE TALKING TO THE DOCTOR AND SHE, UM, AND SHE TOLD US THAT WE DON'T NEED TO BE TESTED TO RETURN, YOU KNOW? CAUSE WE WERE LIKE, SHOULD WE GET TESTED TO SEE IF WE'RE NEGATIVE? AND SHE SAID, NO, UM, BASICALLY IT'S ISOLATE YOURSELF 10 TO 14 DAYS AND YOUR SYMPTOMS IMPROVING. 
          CAUSE SHE SAID, WE CAN'T COUNT IT AS BEING, NOT SYMPTOM FREE BECAUSE THAT COULD TAKE MONTHS, YOU KNOW, BUT IT'S SYMPTOMS IMPROVING AND NO FEVER FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS WITHOUT FEVER, REDUCING MEDS. 
          SO WHICH WE HAVEN'T HAD A FEVER. 
          AND WE, WE ACTUALLY, NONE OF US HAD HAD A FEVER. 
          SO DURING THIS WHOLE TIME, SO I MEAN, I TOOK, WE TOOK TEMPERATURES EVERY DAY AND NONE OF US HAD A FEVER.

          CAUSE WE'RE WE JUST GOT CLEAR TODAY TO BE ABLE TO GO 
          [00:55:01]
OUT OF THE HOUSE. 
          AND I JUST WENT TO THE STORE TO GRAB A COUPLE OF THINGS AND IT WAS SO TIRING. 
          I NEVER FELT LIKE I IT'S JUST THIS, WHAT WE HAVE LEFT, WHAT I HAVE LEFT IS THIS FATIGUE. 
          IT'S JUST EXTREME FATIGUE. 
          I'VE NEVER FELT LIKE THIS TIRING BEFORE. 
          AND THEN, UM, THIS MIGRAINE LIKE HEADACHES THAT I GET THROUGHOUT THE DAY. 
          SO IT'S JUST, BUT THAT DOCTOR SAID THAT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY COMMON THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE LINGERING AFTER THIS IS THE HEADACHES AND THE FATIGUE. 
          AND THAT COULD LAST MONTHS I'M LIKE, OH, ONE THING I'M GLAD THAT I DIDN'T GET WAS THE LOSS OF TASTE AND SMELL. 
          CAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THAT SYMPTOM AND I DIDN'T HAVE THAT. 
          SO I WAS SO GLAD BECAUSE I'M A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAD COVID WHO LOST, HE LOST HIS TASTE FOR ALMOST A MONTH. 
          AND HE SAID IT WAS AWFUL BECAUSE HE, LIKE HE SAID, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO EAT BECAUSE NOTHING TASTED GOOD. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, OH, YOU COULDN'T TASTE ANYTHING. 
          SO I WAS SO GLAD THAT I CAN GET THAT SYMPTOM. 
          SO, OH GOSH. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I HEARD THE EXACT SAME THING THROUGH, UM, A FRIEND OF MINE WHERE HE HAS A RELATIVE, I THINK ON HIS WIFE'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY WHERE THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED WITH HER, SHE CAUGHT THE VIRUS AND SHE LOST HER TASTE. 
          ANY OF THE SENSE OF SMELL FOR OVER A MONTH? YEAH. 
          CAUSE THAT'S MY FRIEND WAS LIKE, I CAN'T, IT WAS JUST, IT WAS THE MOST IRRITATING THING EVER. 
          HE SAID HE, HE LOST SO MUCH WEIGHT CAUSE HE DIDN'T EAT. 
          HE SAID, I DIDN'T WANT TO EAT BECAUSE I COULDN'T JUST NOTHING TASTED GOOD OR IT WAS JUST AWFUL, YOU KNOW? AND WHEN YOU JUST CAN'T TASTE ANYTHING. 
          AND THEN I WAS READING ONLINE, A COUPLE OF CHEFS HAVE LOST THEIR TASTE OF SENSE OF SMELL. 
          AND IT HAS LIKE COMPLETELY AFFECTED THEIR COOKING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TASTE OR SMELL THAT TO SEE IF THEY'VE GOT THE SEASONING RIGHT. 
          OR THE SALT RIGHT. 
          OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO, BUT IT'S VERY INTERESTING THAT THE WAY THIS VIRUS JUST HITS, I HAVE A, UM, UH, A CLASSMATE THAT I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH WHOSE HUSBAND IS 51 AND HE'S BEEN ON, UM, THIS IS DAY 28 OF THE ICU ON A VENTILATOR AND THEY DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GONNA MAKE IT. 
          I MEAN, THEY, THEY, UM, SHE SAID SHE GOT A CALL FROM THE HOSPITAL ABOUT THREE DAYS AGO JUST SAYING, JUST BE PREPARED BECAUSE HE'S NOT RECOVERING HIS, UM, THE, THE DOWNFALL OF THAT IS THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LUNG DAMAGE HE HAS BECAUSE THEY SAID HE'S, UM, THE VENTILATOR, WHICH IS HELPING HIM BREATHE IS ALSO CAUSING HIM TO RETAIN FLUIDS ON HIS LUNG AND LOTS OF SCARRING ON HIS LUNGS. 
          SO, BUT YOU KNOW, 51 YEARS OLD, YOU JUST, IT JUST, IT JUST, UM, IT JUST, WHAT THE, I MEAN, AND THEN THE YOUNGER FOLKS WHO ARE GETTING IT, THEY'RE SAYING THAT, UM, THE ATHLETES WHO GOT IT ARE NOW HAVING PERMANENT HEART DAMAGE AND THEY'RE IN THEIR TWENTIES, YOU KNOW, LATE TEENS AND EARLY TWENTIES. 
          SO IT JUST, OKAY. 
          BUT THIS THING IS JUST, IT'S JUST AWFUL. 
          SO I JUST, I JUST WANT IT TO GO AWAY. 
          HELLO RHONDA. 
          GOOD EVENING, RHONDA. 
          HOW ARE YOU? ALL RIGHT, SO EVERYBODY'S HERE. 
          LET'S NOT START IT. 
          HI. 
          UM, YOU HAVE THE AGENDA BEFORE YOU, IT IS EIGHT OH ONE. 
          LET'S CALL OUR MEETING ORDER A MEETING OF THE, UM, CULTURAL AND DIVERSITY CITIZENS ACTION COMMISSION. 
          THE OUTREACH COMMITTEE AT 8:01 PM, JANUARY SIX, 2021. 
          ALRIGHT, ROLL CALL. 
          LET'S SEE, WHO DO WE HAVE? FRED AKINS. 
          I AM PRESENT, UH, MIA HONAKER, RHONDA SUMMON, PRESENT TO ADOPT THE AGENDA. 
          WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE, MR. CHAIR? I MOVE THAT. 
          WE ACCEPT THE MEETING AGENDA WITH ANUS, TERRY CORRECTIONS OR ADDITIONS A SECOND. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, OR UNREADINESS ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. 
          LET IT BE KNOWN BY 
          [01:00:01]
SAYING, AYE. 
          THOSE ARE THE PROS HAVE THE SAME RATE IN THE EXTENSIONS, RIGHT? ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES AS BEEN APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          AND AS I LOOK AT, I'M SORRY, I SAID MINUTES. 
          I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY MINUTES. 
          I MEANT TO SAY, UM, AGENDA, DON'T SAY AGENDA JUST FOR THE RECORD. 
          IT'S THE AGENDA. 
          UM, DO WE, UH, APPROVE OUR MINUTES HERE? YOU DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO EITHER WE'VE BEEN DOING IT. 
          I MEAN, BUT IT'S NOT, I DON'T THINK FOR THE SMALL SUBCOMMITTEES IT'S LEGIT LAST TIME FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT'S NOT INCLUDED ON THIS AGENDA AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THERE. 
          UM, SO LET ME DO THE APPROVED MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          WE DID APPROVE THE MINUTES WERE FROM THE LAST MEETING IS NOT THE RECORD. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LET, LET ME DO THIS. 
          MAKE A MODIFICATION TO THE AGENDA TO APPROVE THE MINUTES, UM, AS, UM, ITEM THREE B. 
          SO IS THERE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES WITH NECESSARY CORRECTIONS EMOTION? OOH, QUESTION. 
          ANY QUESTION ON EMOTION, QUESTIONS OR UNREADINESS ON ADOPTING THE MINUTES MODIFICATIONS? AND LET ME SAY FROM THE NOVEMBER 18TH MEETING AND THESE WERE SENT OUT, UM, CUDDLED YESTERDAY, AS WELL AS THEY WERE SENT OUT BACK IN DECEMBER. 
          SO, UM, SINCE THERE IS NO UNREADINESS HERE, SO, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY SAYING, AYE, THOSE ARE THE PROS AS HEAVY IN THE MINUTES ARE ADOPTED AS IT IS. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UNDER OLD BUSINESS ITEM FOUR, WE HAVE THE STATUS OF THE MLK EVENT. 
          UM, I KNOW WE, UH, WE KICKED SOME THINGS AROUND IN OUR SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATIONS THAT HAD THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF DECEMBER. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE ARE, WE'RE INTENDING TO DO A FOOD DRIVE AND I THINK THERE IS SOME RESISTANCE TO THAT, UM, OR, OR AT LEAST A MOVEMENT TO, UH, MOVE THAT TO ANOTHER TIME. 
          UM, THAT MIGHT GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN HOW THAT THAT PROGRAM IS DELIVERED. 
          SO, UM, LET ME, LET ME ASK RHONDA, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT WE WANTED TO DO A, PUT MORE FOCUS ON THE MLK MARCH, RIGHT? OKAY. 
          SO WHAT, WHAT DO YOU ALL ENVISION THAT BEING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR? UM, DEFINITELY SHORTER AND NOT SO WELL THE PROGRAM WASN'T THAT LONG, BUT I THINK GIVEN COVID AND EVERYTHING, WE CAN STILL HAVE SOME OF THE FORMALITIES THAT WE HAD. 
          YOU KNOW, WE HAD A SECONDARY PURPOSE, WE HAD A COUPLE OF SPEECHES. 
          WE HAD THE MAYOR, THE MAYOR GIVE PROCLAMATION, WE HAD THE STATE COUNTY, WE DID ALL OF THAT. 
          SO IF WE COULD HAVE A SMALLER, ALMOST MINI PROGRAM IN COMPARISON TO LAST YEAR, UM, AND THE FOCUS JUST BEING ON UNIFYING OUR COMMUNITY, UM, AND YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY HONORING DR. 
          MLK AND THEN HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WE CAN GET AN EARLIER START ON PLANNING. 
          WON'T BE AN ISSUE OR AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE. 
          AND WE CAN ROLL OUT THE FULL PROGRAM AGAIN. 
          AND WE WERE CALLING THIS THE UNITY MARCH, CORRECT? THE MLK UNITY MARCH, UM, MLK UNITY WALK. 
          YES. 
          WE HAD ALSO DISCUSSED MOVING THE VENUE, MOVING IT TO, UM, CITY CENTER. 
          I BELIEVE WE WERE CALLING IT. 
          UM, AND I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE NAME OF THE PLAZA AND LET, LET ME FIND IT, SORRY. 
          AND WALKING TO HELP ME OUT, LADIES. 
          I CAN'T REMEMBER WALKING TO, I ALWAYS WANT TO CALL IT. 
          WAYNE IS WAYNE TOWN. 
          WAYNE'S TOWN. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          SO MARION PLAZA IS THE ONE WHERE, UM, VACCINE VIDEOS. 
          YEAH. 
          YES, 
          [01:05:01]
BECAUSE THAT'S THE NEW, THAT'S THE NEW SHOPPING STRIP THE CITY JUST BOUGHT AND THAT'S WHERE THE LIBRARY IS GONNA GO. 
          SO WE ARE CONSIDERING STARTING THERE AND ENDING AT WHAT'S THE NAME OF THIS PLAZA? WAYNE COUNTY. 
          THAT'S THE ONE WHERE THE DMV IS, UH, WE'LL AIR THAT TRAMPOLINE PARK. 
          IS THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY? YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE I THINK WE'D HAVE TO REACH OUT TO THE OWNER, BUT ANOTHER THING WE CAN DO, AND I LEARNED THIS FROM THE, UM, PROTESTING THAT WE HAD. 
          CAUSE UM, IF WE JUST GO TO WHERE WE JUST WALK ON THE SIDEWALK, THAT'S PUBLIC PROPERTY, WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE PERMISSION FROM THAT PROPERTY OWNER. 
          CAUSE THAT PROPERTY OWNER MAY SAY YAY OR NAY IF WE CAN MEET IN THEIR PARKING LOT, BUT WE CAN JUST DO THE WALK TO THE SIDEWALK AND THAT'S ALLOWED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DID WITH THE PROTEST. 
          BECAUSE I GUESS THE PROPERTY OWNER OF WHERE ELDER BEERMAN'S USED TO BE COLES DID NOT WANT THE PROTEST, BUT THEY DID IT ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESS, WHICH THEY COULDN'T, THAT WAS ALLOWED. 
          SO JUST A, JUST A HEADS UP IN CASE. 
          BUT I THINK THE PROPERTY OWNER OF WAYNE TOWN IS FLEXIBLE. 
          HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT HAVING DIFFERENT EVENTS. 
          YOU KNOW, HE USED TO HAVE THE OLD FARMER'S MARKET THERE AND THEN THEY DO, UM, THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY DOES THINGS THERE. 
          HE DOES A LOT OF THINGS. 
          THE OPTIMIST CLUB DOES THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE SALES, YOU KNOW, SO HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT USUALLY LOVING AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BLOCK THE BUSINESSES. 
          SO, I MEAN, DO WE KNOW WHO DO YOU KNOW HIS NAME? I DON'T KNOW INFORMATION FOR HIM AND FIND IT REAL QUICK. 
          THE MAYOR WOULD BE GOOD. 
          THE MAYOR TALKS TO FROM MY UNDERSTANDING TALKS TO HIM QUITE OFTEN, SO. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT WARD IS THAT? IS THAT ED LIONS? IS THAT SIX? IS IT SIX IT'S FOUR. 
          I'M NOT SURE. 
          I THINK IT'S ANDY. 
          OKAY. 
          ANDY, IS IT LARGE? NO. 
          GLENN, LARGE GLENN NANCY. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I BELIEVE THAT IS ANDY'S BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT IS. 
          I DON'T WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT, BUT I REMEMBER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WEEDS ON THE CORNER OF, OF THAT ROAD THAT, THAT THE GROUPS WERE SUPPOSED TO LIKE MAINTAIN AND THE ONE CORNER DIDN'T GET MAINTAINED AND ANDY TOOK CARE OF IT. 
          SO, SO IF WE, IF WE STARTED WEIGHING TOWN PLAZA, WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE PARKED THERE. 
          AND THEN MARRIOTT'S, I'M SORRY, MARY PLAZA, BECAUSE THE CITY OWNS THAT. 
          SO WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A PRIVATE OWNERSHIP FOR THAT. 
          THE CITY GOT IT. 
          AND THEN WE'RE JUST GOING TO WALK AROUND THE CORNER TO THE WAYNE TOWN. 
          WE DID TO GET PERMISSION FROM THAT TO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PARKING LOT. 
          RIGHT. 
          IF WE'RE GOING TO END THERE, THEN, UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PROGRAM. 
          SO WHAT DOES THAT PROGRAM LOOK LIKE IN THIS SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WHERE WE WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE, YOU KNOW, AN OPENING OF SOME SORT. 
          WE DID A PRAYER BEFORE, UH, WE DID A WELCOME, WE DID A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. 
          WE DID THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER, WHICH I WOULD MOVE THAT WE, I HATE TO SAY THE WORD ELIMINATE, BUT I THINK THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM GIVEN THE PROGRAM, UM, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE PROBABLY HEAR A LOT. 
          AND LAST TIME WE DID THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER AND THE NATIONAL, THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM. 
          UM, AND YOU ALL CAN LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT. 
          UM, I'M HAPPY TO SING A SONG. 
          I KNOW YOLANDA SAID SHE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE A SPEECH ON I AM COMMUNITY AND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, UM, BASED UPON DR. 
          KING'S MOVEMENT AND COMMUNITY. 
          UM, WHAT ABOUT ERIC? MAYBE ERIC CAN DO THE, AND NOT ERIC RICHARDSON, PASTOR RICHARD, THE PRAYER OPENING PRAYER. 
          I THINK HE WOULD, BUT HE'S ON THE COMMISSION. 
          SO, I MEAN, SO ARE WE GOING TO ASK TO DO A PRINT? RIGHT? I THINK IT'S GREAT TO HAVE HIM SPEAK. 
          AND THEN, 
          [01:10:01]
UM, CAUSE IT'S THE COMMISSION MEMBERS WHO ARE, WHO ARE ACTIVE IN IT. 
          YEAH. 
          SO I HAVE A QUESTION, RHONDA, DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF LAST YEAR'S AGENDA? CAN WE REVIEW THAT? DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT IT UP? I'M SHARING LESSONS AND SHARE MY SCREEN. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          ONE SECOND. 
          I'M OPENING IT NOW. 
          ANYWAY, I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO ANY PUBLIC SPEAKING TURN AT ME. 
          I ALREADY HAD YOU DOWN. 
          MY STUDENTS GET HER NAME. 
          MY STUDENTS GET ON ME ALL THE TIME. 
          THEY'RE LIKE YOU MAKE US DO IT. 
          WELL, YEAH. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I HAVE STUDENTS. 
          ARE YOU SHARING YOUR SCREEN? YEAH. 
          HOLD ON A SECOND. 
          I'M JUST, I'M TRYING TO PULL IT UP. 
          I, SOMETHING TOLD ME TO HAVE IT READY AND I'M LIKE, HEY. 
          YEAH, THEY PROBABLY DID HEAR IT. 
          HOLD ON JUST ONE SECOND. 
          CAUSE THAT'S GOING TO BE WHAT IN A WEEK AND A HALF ALMOST IT'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT GUYS. 
          IT'S WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH TIME LAST YEAR. 
          PUT IT IN. 
          AND IT'S NOT THAT MUCH. 
          IT'S REALLY NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WE DID LAST YEAR. 
          SO IF WE CUT IT, UM, AND THEN I HAD A STAPLES, THEY DID THE PROGRAMS IN KIND FOR US. 
          UM, IF YOU ALL WANT TO MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM AND LET, GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND THIS CAUSE I'M A, ALL RIGHT. 
          SO WE ALREADY DO A MINI PROGRAM, UM, MARY AND PLAZA TO WAYNE TOWN PLEASANT. 
          AND IF SOMEBODY COULD GET ME A, THE OWNER'S NAME OF THE PARKING LOT SO I CAN ASK THEM IS OKAY. 
          IF WE END OUR MARCH, OUR WALK THERE, UM, IF WE DO A, UM, A PROGRAM WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE LIKE SOME KIND OF A WHAT'D YOU CALL IT A MEGAPHONE, DO WE HAVE ACCESS TO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YEAH. 
          WE HAVE A, UM, WE HAVE A PODIUM WITH A BUILT-INS, UH, SYSTEM. 
          IT STAYS AT EICHELBERGER AND WHEN WE NEED TO MOVE IT, WE JUST ASK JOSH AND THEY BRING IT TO WHEREVER WE NEED IT. 
          SO WE'LL NEED AN OUTLET. 
          OKAY. 
          HE, DID YOU SAY A MEGAPHONE TOO? I'M SORRY. 
          A MAKE PHONE? NO, JUST WE'VE GOT A PODIUM AND IT AMPLIFIES PRETTY LOUD. 
          UM, BUT WE WILL NEED A POWER SOURCE FOR THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          NORMALLY THEY GET ALL THAT SET UP. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY, THEY NORMALLY GET IT ALL DONE. 
          AND UM, WHEN YOU SAY THEY, WHO IS THE, WELL, LET ME GO BACK, LET ME, LET ME NOT SAY THEY, UH, THE PEOPLE AT PARKS AND REC THE PEOPLE FROM PARKS AND REC JOSH KING AND HIS CREW, THEY NORMALLY DO THE SETUP FOR ALL OF THIS TYPE OF STUFF. 
          SO WE JUST, WE LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE NEED. 
          NOW. 
          THAT'S GIVEN WHERE AT EICHELBERGER, BUT SINCE WE'RE GOING TO, UM, WAYNE TOWN PLAZA TO SET UP, THE ONLY THING WE'RE GOING TO NEED IS THAT PODIUM. 
          AND IT HAS, WE NEED A POWER SOURCE, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS ATTACHED TO THAT PODIUM. 
          SO I WILL NEED AS A POWER SOURCE. 
          AND, UH, MAYBE A LONG, I GUESS, A LONG EXTENSION CORD. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE THERE AS A POWER? I'M SURE THERE'S ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDINGS. 
          NOW WE WOULD HAVE TO, I GUESS, GET PERMISSION TO MAYBE PLUG IN, UM, NOW GET A AIR THEY OWN, THEY PROBABLY DON'T OWN, THEY'RE PROBABLY LEASING, BUT IF HE GIVES US PERMISSION, THE OWNER GIVES US PERMISSION TO USE THE PARKING LOT. 
          POSSIBLY WE CAN GET THEIR PERMISSION TO SET UP THERE SINCE IT'S TOWARDS THE END OF THE COMPLEX. 
          UM, AND THERE'S KIND OF DIRECTION FOR PEOPLE TO COME IN AND OUT. 
          I'M SURE THEY'VE GOT A POWER SOURCE ON THE SIDE OF THEIR BUILDING. 
          SO IF WE NEEDED TO SET UP THERE, WE COULD SET UP THERE SO WE CAN HAVE 
          [01:15:01]
ACCESS TO THAT OUTLET OUTSIDE OF THEIR BUILDING. 
          IT COMES TO WHERE THE CITY AND WE CAN ASK JOSH, WOULD HE NOT HAVE A GENERATOR? I'M SURE HE DOES. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT THEY, CAUSE THEY'VE DONE THINGS. 
          I GET, UM, COMMUNITY PARK BEFORE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE, UM, IF THE CITY HAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I DON'T KNOW. 
          WE CAN, WE CAN, I MEAN, WE CAN ASK TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT THEY, THEY, UM, I MEAN, IF WE HAVE PROGRAMS, UNFORTUNATELY THEY, THEY MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. 
          YEAH. 
          HE, HE BROUGHT US THE TENT AND THE TABLE AND STUFF WHEN WE DID THE VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVE AT FOOD BAZAAR. 
          SO YEAH. 
          AND LAST AND LAST YEAR I HAD TO KEEP, WELL, I HAD THE KEY, SO I JUST OPENED IT AND GET WHATEVER. 
          SO IF THEY NEED TO GIVE US A KEY, NOW THAT'S A, AND B'S TERRITORY. 
          SO WE POSSIBLY COULD WORK WITH JOSH, YOU KNOW, SINCE HE'S PARKS AND REC AND MAYBE WE COULD GET THE KEY, UM, AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, A AND B GETS IT BACK JUST IN CASE THEY'RE NOT WORKING THAT DAY. 
          CAUSE I DO REMEMBER WE OPENED UP THE, UM, WE OPENED UP AND GOT ALL THE STUFF OUT THAT WE NEEDED. 
          YEAH. 
          I KNOW WITH THE TENT AND, AND THE TABLE AND STUFF, UM, JOSH GAVE IT TO ME AND I JUST TRANSPORTED IT BACK AND FORTH WHEN WE WERE DONE. 
          SO I MEAN, THEY THEY'LL WORK WITH YOU ON THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO, AND I THINK VINCE WOULD BE PRETTY GOOD AT WORKING WITH US THROUGH IF WE NEED TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM, OKAY, SO ROBERT, CAN YOU GET ME THE PHONE NUMBER? THE PERSON I NEED TO TALK TO AND NAME JOSH. 
          YOU MEAN JOSH KING? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? PERSON WHO OWNS THE BUILDING OVER THERE. 
          THAT'S JOSH KING. 
          HE'S DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RIGHT. 
          AND THEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WAYNE TOWN PLAZA. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          YES. 
          THE OWNER. 
          OKAY. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          I DON'T HAVE ANDY'S INFORMATION, BUT I DO HAVE ADS AND ADS MAY ADD MAY NO, LET ME REACH OUT TO AIR REAL QUICK. 
          AND HE SAID, HE'S TRYING TO GET ON OUR MEETING AT LYONS. 
          AND ONCE AGAIN, HE'S SAYING THAT THE LINK IS NOT WORKING. 
          OH, WHAT LINK IS THAT? WE'RE LINKED. 
          IF THEY'RE SAYING THE P THE PUBLIC CAN GET ON, IT'S NOT WORKING BECAUSE ED IS TRYING TO GET ON THE MEETING. 
          HE'S TRYING TO GET ON NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          MICROSOFT TEAMS. SHOULD I SEND HIM THE INVITE? YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT? I'M NOT OPPOSED. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M NOT OPPOSED TO HAVING HIM. 
          I'M NOT EITHER. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          I WILL TELL HIM, I'LL SEND YOU THE INVITE. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO GET ADDRESSED WITH THE CITY. 
          SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR MEETING TOMORROW, I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO BRING UP IN THE NEW BUSINESS IS, IS THE DIFFICULTY OF PEOPLE HAVING TO SIGN ON THESE MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PUBLIC. 
          AND, UM, AND THE RELEASE OF THESE MINUTES AND ALL THOSE VIDEOS. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I, I DEFINITELY WANT TO, TO BE TRANSPARENT. 
          I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT WE'RE HIDING SOMETHING FROM THEM OR, OR BEING IN THE CITY. 
          ACTUALLY, SINCE THIS ELECTION LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE, I WAS LOOKING AT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT SPOTS. 
          WELL, WE'RE NOT HONESTLY HIDING ANYTHING BECAUSE WE SEND OUR AGENDA AND MEETING MINUTES TO THE APPROPRIATE RESOURCE TO FACILITATE THESE MEETINGS. 
          WELL, I KNOW WE'RE NOT HIDING ANYTHING. 
          I'M JUST SAYING IT'S, IT'S BEEN INSINUATED THAT WE ARE. 
          SO IT WAS LIKE, BECAUSE WE DON'T, BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON OUR THINGS AREN'T BEING YEAH. 
          PUT OUT IN THE PUBLIC OFTEN, WE'LL TALK TO HER ABOUT TOMORROW. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE, UM, MLK, UNITY WALK, MANY PROGRAM, MARY AND PLAZA TO WAYNE. 
          WHAT TIME DID WE SAY? AND I KNOW I HAVE IT, I HAVE IT ON THE FLYER, BUT WE CHANGED IT. 
          NO GUYS, LAST TIME, I THINK I HAD TOLD YOU, WE STARTED EARLY. 
          WE STARTED AT 10. 
          SO IT WAS FROM 10, SO ONE. 
          SO WE STARTED A WALK. 
          EVERYBODY HAD TO GATHER, UM, FOR THE WALK TO START BY 10. 
          AND THEN I ASKED THEM TO REASSEMBLE FOR THE PROGRAM AT 10 50 SHARP. 
          [01:20:01]
AND IT STARTED AT 11 NOW, BASED ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF COVID, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE THE PROGRAM WOULD HAVE TO BE ABBREVIATED TIMEFRAME BASED ON THE AGENDA. 
          OF COURSE. 
          OKAY. 
          DONE IN AN HOUR. 
          IF WE START THE WALK AT 10, O'CLOCK IT SHOULDN'T TAKE US MORE THAN 10 MINUTES TO GET OVER TO WAYNE TOWN BLOOD, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH. 
          I CAN GET A HALF AN HOUR WALK, BUT, YOU KNOW, CAUSE WELL IT, DEPENDING ON HOW BIG OF A GROUP WE GET TO, WELL, I WOULD, I WOULD GIVE IT THAT HALF AN HOUR, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE COULD DO PROGRAM STARTS AT 10 30 IN WAYNE TOWN PLAZA. 
          AND THAT GIVES US TIME FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER. 
          AND WE HAVE SLOW WALKERS BECAUSE WE MAY HAVE SENIORS THAT ARE WALKING OR, YOU KNOW HMM. 
          I WAS THINKING 10 MINUTES WAS TOO MUCH. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE THAT'S GONNA CUT THROUGH THAT ONE PARKING LOT AND THROUGH THE TREE, UBER, COME GET YOU, WHEN YOU, SO RECENT PICTURES OF MARTIN LUTHER KING WALKING IN THE SNOW. 
          SO, UM, SO 10 TO 11 O'CLOCK SHOULD DO IT RIGHT TO ME. 
          I WOULD PROBABLY SAY 10 TO 1130, JUST, JUST IN CASE, JUST IN CASE. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          THE CHALLENGE THERE IS IF IT'S COLD, UM, WE'LL SCARE PEOPLE OFF WITH THAT KIND OF TIMEFRAME. 
          NO, IT WON'T. 
          IT WON'T SCARE PEOPLE OUT FOR THEM. 
          FOLKS WAS OUT THERE AND SUB-DEGREE WEATHER. 
          IT WON'T SCARE PEOPLE OUT, NOT SCARE PEOPLE OFF. 
          SO WE'LL SAY THE PROGRAM BEGINS AT 10 30, UNLESS YOU WANNA SAY 10 45. 
          OKAY. 
          10 30. 
          UM, WE'LL HAVE THE PRAYER. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          THE WELCOME A PRAYER, UM, A BRIEF ADDRESS. 
          AND THEN ANY DIGNITARIES THAT MIGHT WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, UM, ARE WE EXPECTING THE MAYOR TO BE THERE EITHER THE MAYOR OR THE VICE MAYOR? OKAY. 
          BOTH EVERYBODY WAS THERE LAST YEAR. 
          ALL OF THE COUNCIL, EVERYBODY WAS THERE. 
          SO I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO TURN OUT TO BE A, UH, CAMPAIGN. 
          RIGHT. 
          WOW. 
          I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE I KNOW A COUPLE OF OUR PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FOR OFFICE. 
          UM, AND SO I DID NOT INCLUDE ANYBODY. 
          YOU ALL NOTICE FOR THE UNITY WHILE NO ONE SPOKE FROM COUNCIL, BECAUSE I WAS AWARE THAT PEOPLE WERE RUNNING FOR OFFICE REPRESENTING THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          UM, WELL LAST YEAR MAYOR BURJ SPOKE, BUT THIS YEAR SHE'S RUNNING AT LARGE. 
          SO MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST MAYOR GORE'S RUNNING FOR OFFICE AS WELL. 
          SO I MEAN, OH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MAYOR. 
          THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE HE'S CAN I SEE CURRENTLY MAYOR JUST ALLOW HIM TO YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. 
          I AGREE. 
          IS HE CURRENTLY THE MAYOR HUBER? HE IS, UM, HAS THAT RIOT, THE PRESENT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY ON OUR BEHALF. 
          I PREFER NOT TO, UM, ANYBODY'S RUNNING. 
          YEAH. 
          CAUSE LIKE LAST YEAR GLEN OTTO SPOKE FOR PHIL PLUMBER AND THEN PHIL ENDED UP SHOWING UP. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, LYNN IS ALSO RUNNING FOR MAYOR. 
          SO, SO JUST LIKE THE UNITY RALLY EXACTLY AS HE IS, HE'S RUNNING AGAINST, BUT IT STILL A PLUMBER DOES SHOW UP THEN. 
          I MEAN, PROTOCOL WOULD DICTATE THAT WE NEED TO GIVE THEM AT LEAST TWO MINUTES. 
          OH, WE NEED TO INVITE HIM. 
          MOST DEFINITELY HE'LL BE ACTUALLY SENT AN INVITE AND THEN I BACKED AWAY FROM IT. 
          CAUSE I'M LIKE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF, IF IT'S BEEN SENT TO COUNCIL YET. 
          AND THEN I DIDN'T WANT TO STICK MY FOOT IN MY MOUTH AND INVITING TO SOMETHING THAT HADN'T BEEN PAID YET. 
          UM, CAUSE TRADITIONALLY THE DATES SHOULD BE GIVEN TO COUNCIL AND THE DETAILS WORKED OUT LATER. 
          SO THEY JUST NEED A STANDING CALENDAR OF WHAT EVENTS ARE TAKING PLACE THAT THEY CAN APPROVE. 
          THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE DETAILS NECESSARILY, BUT THE DATES NEEDS TO GO ON THE CALENDAR SO THAT WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BEGAN PROMOTING THOSE EVENTS. 
          THAT WAS KINDA MY CONCERN. 
          THIS HAD NOT BEEN SENT TO COUNCIL YET. 
          [01:25:01]
UM, AND WE WERE THEN GOING TO TRY TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS. 
          SO ARE THEY AWARE OF THE DATE YET? YEAH. 
          CAUSE DON'T THEY NEED ME NEXT MONDAY. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          I MEAN IT'S, I MEAN THEY SHOULD PROBABLY NO, I MEAN, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY KNEW ABOUT OUR PROGRAM THAT WE WERE DOING. 
          WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT OUR PROGRAM. 
          NO, I'M TALKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE DATE. 
          WERE THEY AWARE OF US DOING SOMETHING ON THAT DAY? I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE YOLANDA DO YOU KNOW OR YEAH, AFTER THIS, AFTER WE'RE DONE HERE TODAY, I TOLD HER I'D CALL HER AFTER THIS MEETING. 
          YEAH. 
          I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ILANA MAY HAVE KNOWN BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE BEEN HAVING THUS FAR IN PLANNING THE EVENT, BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE CITY, I GUESS, WAS IT A FLYER THAT WE WERE WORKING ON THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO GET APPROVAL FOR? YEAH, BUT THE FLYER THAT WE WERE DOING THAT WE HAD DONE WAS FOR A FOOD DRIVE AND THEN WE CHANGED IT AND THEN WE WERE TRYING TO MEET LAST WEEKEND AND THAT, OR LAST WEEKEND THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. 
          UM, SO NOW WE'RE MEETING TODAY TO SOLIDIFY WHAT WE PLAN TO DO IN OUR COMMUNITY AFTERWARDS ON HERE. 
          I ALSO BEATS ON SUNDAY. 
          SO THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TIME. 
          SO WE NEED TO GET THEM TO ASK, TO BE HAD, DO THIS, PUT ON THEIR, ON THEIR AGENDA TO APPROVE THIS EVENT. 
          YEAH, NO, THE SECOND ANDREW WILL BE APPROVED FOR DATE AND TIME AND YOU KNOW, SO WE NEED TO INCLUDE IN OUR MINUTES A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE UNITY MARCH, YOU WERE CUTTING IN AND OUT. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD THIS. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AS WE CAN'T BOTH HERE. 
          SO IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT PERMISSIONS TOMORROW. 
          SO DO WE INVOKE? CAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE VOTED WAY BACK WHEN, ON THIS EVENT WE DID NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          WE JUST DISCUSSED IT. 
          WE JUST HADN'T, WE HADN'T AGREED TO ANYTHING. 
          SO, SO THAT'S THE THING TOMORROW. 
          IT HAS TO BE VOTED ON BY COMMISSION AND THEN PROVIDED, YOU KNOW, THE GROUP WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          UM, THEN IT WOULD NEED TO GO TO COUNCIL AS A RECOMMENDATION ON MONDAY WHEN THEY MEET AND THEN WE CAN, UM, PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE IT TUESDAY MORNING. 
          AND ACTUALLY I, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW. 
          I DON'T EVEN THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY ACTUALLY. 
          UM, IT CAN GO TO COUNCIL BEFORE MONDAY WE CAN GET IT TO ANTHONY. 
          UM, WHO'S THE CITY. 
          UM, YES, THERE WE GO. 
          SLIP MY MIND NEEDS TO GET IT TO HIM AND THEN HE CAN GET IT OUT TO COUNCIL. 
          UM, AND IF THERE'S DISCUSSION, THEY CAN HAVE IT IN MEETING, BUT IT LIT AT LEAST SOMEBODY ROB OR EVEN ROB SHOMER COULD GET IT ON THE CALENDAR OR GET IT ON THE KEY AD'S BOARD. 
          CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. 
          THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SAY NO. 
          THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD SAY NO IS IF FOR SOME REASON MAYOR GORE THINKS THAT IT MAY BE A COVID RELATED ISSUE. 
          THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I COULD SEE HIM SAYING NO. 
          AND THEN WE, WE EMPHASIZE WITH THEM THAT IT'S MASK AND UM, SOCIALLY DISTANCE AND IT'S OUTDOORS COMPLETELY OUTDOOR. 
          SO NO DIFFERENT THAN A PROTEST OR, YOU KNOW, NOT GIVING ANY, UM, ANY HOT CHOCOLATE OR ANYTHING. 
          WE'RE NOT DOING ANY OF THAT BECAUSE THAT'LL DEFINITELY BE TURNED OUT WITHOUT RIGHT NOW. 
          WHAT IF THE WEATHER, YOU KNOW, IT'S JANUARY, WHAT IF THERE'S INCLEMENT WEATHER? IS THERE A PLAN IN PLACE I'M JUST SAYING YOU CAN BRING AN UMBRELLA AND I'M TALKING ABOUT SNOW THAT LAST YEAR AND WE HAD IT. 
          AND UM, WE JUST SAID IF THE WEATHER IS INCLEMENT, THAT WOULD JUST WE'D FORGO THE, YOU KNOW, THE DAY. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, I'LL TALK TO YOU. 
          ALONDA LET HER KNOW WHAT WE PLAN ON DOING, AND WE WANT TO GET THIS ON THE AGENDA TOMORROW, UH, 
          [01:30:01]
FOR THE COMMISSION MEETING SO THAT THEY CAN FORWARD IT TO ANTHONY, UM, OR EITHER THE MAYOR OR SOMEBODY TOMORROW GET PERMISSION TO DO THIS. 
          AND THEN WE'LL WORK ON THE DETAILS WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE HERE FROM 10 TO 1130. 
          UM, WE DO NEED TO PUT THE PROGRAM TOGETHER, BUT WE'LL DO THAT. 
          AND LET'S, LET'S US HAVE A MEETING ON FRIDAY. 
          Y'ALL MIND HAVING A MEETING ON FRIDAY AFTER WE GET ONE ON, I GUESS WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. 
          WE JUST NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, SO I'LL DO AN OUTDOOR FLYER LIKE I DID LAST TIME AND UM, AND UM, ANYBODY WILLING TO DO THE PROGRAM? UH, I CAN WORK ON THAT. 
          I MEAN IT, IT JUST BASICALLY CUT AND PASTE SORT OF THING. 
          OKAY. 
          AND CUTTING AND PASTING. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE MLK UNITY WALK? ALL RIGHT. 
          MOVING ON TO ITEM B THE, UM, I'M SORRY. 
          I SHOULD SAY FOR B O BUSINESS, THE STATUS OF THE, UH, HUMAN RIGHTS CULTURE FESTIVAL THAT WE PLAN ON HAVING, UM, THE FIRST ITEM AND THE TENTATIVE DATE, AND I'M JUST JUMPING OVER, DOWN THE AGENDA. 
          THERE IS A JUNE 12TH. 
          DID WE ESTABLISH A TIME FOR THAT DOUBLE CHECKING THEM TO SEE IF WE DID? I DON'T THINK WE DID. 
          OH, NO, NO, NO. 
          WE, WE DID. 
          WE DID, UM, PER THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING, THE TENTATIVE TIME THAT WE HAVE IS FROM 2:00 PM UNTIL 6:00 PM. 
          TWO TO SIX, JUNE 12, TWO TO SIX. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE, SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE THE DATE, HAVE YOU, AND LIKE RHONDA SAID, DON'T NEED TO HAVE THE DETAILS YET, BUT WE HAVE THE DATE AND GET THE LOCATION SO THE CITY CAN GET IT ON THEIR CALENDAR AND THEN THEY CAN RESERVE THE EICHELBERGER FOR US. 
          SO, AND I COULD, UM, WHEN I TALKED TO YOLANDA, I'LL MENTION THAT AS WELL. 
          SO WE CAN GET THAT ON THE CALENDAR TOMORROW AS WELL. 
          SO WE CAN, UM, GO AHEAD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE FACILITY AND, AND COUNCIL WAS BEEN MADE AWARE THROUGH RECOMMENDATION, CORRECT? YEAH. 
          AND IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE NBA HAS THEIR MOVIE NIGHTS AND STUFF GOING ON. 
          SO WHAT DAY IS THAT? ON A SATURDAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE THINGS GOING ON ON SATURDAY NORMALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          I'VE LIKED SOME KIND OF ART THING GOING, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEIR ART FESTIVAL IS SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT, UM, BUT YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT ON THE CALENDAR NOW THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE THAT SPACE. 
          SO, SO GETTING THIS, AND I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION EARLIER ABOUT INCLUDING A AND B ART AND BEAUTIFICATION. 
          THERE WAS SOME RESISTANCE. 
          NO, IT WASN'T A RESISTANCE. 
          FRED. 
          IT'S JUST THAT I KNOW THEY HAVE A LOT GOING ON AND TRYING TO COORDINATE ALL THESE SCHEDULES IS, IS A BIT MUCH, THAT WAS KINDA MY THING. 
          AND THEY HAVE OPTED NOT TO THAT. 
          THEY'LL VOLUNTEER AND HELP OUT, BUT NOT, NOT TO BE LIKE NOT TO CO-HOST IT. 
          DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THIS WILL BE, THIS WILL BE OUR, OUR EVENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHAT I'M THINKING WITH THIS KIND OF EVENT IS IN THAT EICHELBERGER, HAVING A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT VENDORS, BOOTHS PARTICIPANTS SET UP WHERE THEY COULD SHARE, DEMONSTRATE, AND POTENTIALLY SELL THEIR ARTS AND CRAFTS, CORRECT. 
          AND FOODS. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, WE, AND I THINK WE HAD THEM DO PERFORMANCES STATES. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN THEY'LL, THEY CAN, THEY HAVE A CHOICE. 
          THEY CAN DO THE TABLE WHERE THEY CAN SELL THEIR GOODS, DEMONSTRATE THEIR CULTURE, SELL FOOD AND, AND, OR A PERFORMANCE THAT WAS THE APPLICATION WE GAVE THEM. 
          SO THEY HAD THE OPTION OF DOING THOSE THREE BECAUSE SOME GROUPS JUST WANTED TO DO A DANCE PERFORMANCE. 
          SO JUST WANTED TO DO JUST FOOD. 
          SOME GROUPS WANTED TO DO ALL THREE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, SO IT, IT DEPENDS ON THAT, THAT ORGANIZATION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE LAYOUT WOULD BASICALLY BE THE SAME, LIKE HOW IT WAS FUNNY PHOTO REGISTRATION, JIVE THAT WE HAD OUT THERE IN FARMER'S MARKET SAYING CONE TABLE OR OWN TENT, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THEY, UM, AND MOST OF THESE GROUPS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT BECAUSE THEY DO THE WORLD AFFAIR AND FESTIVALS. 
          SO THEY THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THESE OUTDOOR. 
          SO DO WE NEED, WHAT 
          [01:35:01]
DOES THIS THING, SO DO WE NEED TO MARK OFF SPACE FOR THEM? OR WAS THAT ALREADY DONE? NO. 
          UM, I THINK FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, RHONDA, WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT THEY WOULD, UM, WE ASSIGN THEM LIKE AN AREA. 
          WASN'T IT LIKE, LIKE HOW WE DO THE MIRACLE FESTIVAL. 
          YES THEY DO. 
          THEY DO THAT. 
          SO, UM, AND THERE'S AN APPLICATION I THINK, I THINK I HAVE LAST YEAR'S. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK NEXT. 
          BEFORE WE DO EVERY STATIONS AT ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
          DO WE HAVE APPLICATIONS FOR POTENTIAL PARTICIPANTS? YEAH, WE HAVE LAST YEAR'S. 
          WE CAN READ IT OR DO I HAVE IT? I HAVE LAST YEAR'S IN MY EMAIL. 
          I'LL GO BACK THROUGH MY EMAIL. 
          AND I ALSO HAVE THIS SPREADSHEET THAT I SENT TO CINDY OKAY. 
          OF ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES FOR THEM BECAUSE MY, UM, I HAD MY GA LAST YEAR PUT THAT TOGETHER FOR THE COMMISSION. 
          SO MY GA MY GRADUATE ASSISTANT LASKER DO THAT. 
          SO I HAVE THAT, THAT SPREADSHEET ON MY COMPUTER SOMEWHERE. 
          SO I'LL HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT, BUT I I'LL, I'LL I'LL LOCATE THAT AND GET THAT. 
          UM, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID WAS, UM, I GAVE IT TO CINDY AND THEN SHE SENT OUT THE APPLICATION OR WHOEVER FROM THE AMD SENT IT OUT TO THOSE ORGANS TO, AND THEN I DO HAVE SOME ORGS THAT I KNOW PERSONALLY WELL THAT I REACHED OUT TO, LIKE I DID LAST YEAR THAT AGREED TO IT. 
          LIKE I PANAMA AND THE FILIPINO GROUP AND THE CHINESE GROUP, THEY WERE ALREADY COMMITTED TO DO IT LAST YEAR. 
          SO I CAN, UM, I CAN REACH OUT TO THEM AGAIN JUST TO GIVE THEM A HEADS UP ON THE DATE. 
          SO HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS ARE WE WILLING TO ALLOW HIM IN THIS, UM, IN THIS FESTIVAL? OR DO WE HAVE THE SPACE FOR, I GUESS IT WOULD BE A BETTER QUESTION WHERE TO PUT THAT. 
          I THINK IT'S, IT'S PLENTY OF SPACE. 
          SO, I MEAN, I THINK AT THIS TIME, I WILL SAY THOUGH, AGAIN, A LOT CAN CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN IN TERMS OF COVID, WE MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO INVITE, ANTICIPATE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ATTEND. 
          SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WELL. 
          THANKS. 
          THOUGHT IT WAS GOING WELL, HERE YOU GO. 
          NO, I MEAN, YOU GOT IT. 
          HEY, OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL, HOPEFULLY BY JUNE, WE'LL ALL HAVE VACCINES OR EITHER ANTIBIOTICS. 
          OKAY. 
          DOCUMENT WITH YOU ALL THAT WE KIND OF USED AS A PLANNING TOOL AND IT KIND OF HELPED US KICK AROUND SOME IDEAS. 
          SO WE DON'T HAVE TO REALLY REINVENT THE WHEEL, BUT I'M GOING TO SEND THIS TO YOU GUYS, BUT THIS IS KIND OF WHAT WE AGREED ON. 
          AND, UM, I KIND OF DELI AND MADE IT TO EACH COUNCIL MEMBER, WHAT THEIR AREA OF EXPERTISE WOULD BE FOR THE EVENT. 
          BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE WE DID IN TERMS OF CULTURAL FOCUSES AND POTENTIAL EXHIBITORS. 
          UH, WE, WE KINDA, WE GOT REAL SPECIFIC SPONSORS, UM, AND THEN SOME INPUTS AND THINGS THAT WE WOULD NEED FOR THE EVENT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE LOOKED AT PORTA POTS AND ALL THAT STUFF, SO I'LL START TO GO TO THE PASTORAL AND AT, FOR SOME REASON THE BATHROOMS WEREN'T GOING TO BE OPEN. 
          I CAN'T REMEMBER WHY THAT WAS, UM, OR THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE ENOUGH. 
          YOU HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY FOR WHATEVER NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU'RE EXPECTING, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT MUCH AVAILABLE. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          SO IF YOU COULD SEND ME THAT, UM, ONCE WE, UM, PERMISSION FROM THE, UH, COUNCIL, UM, THEY WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE DETAILS AND, AND, AND, UH, SIGN SOME OF THAT STUFF OUT TO OTHER MEN ON THE COMMISSION, AS WELL AS THIS COMMITTEE. 
          SO WE'LL, WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS EVENT. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE ARE SO MANY, UM, ETHNIC FOOD TRUCKS NOW THAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A FOOD TRUCK RALLY TO BE WITH THIS EVENT. 
          DOES THAT MAKE, YOU KNOW, SORT OF LIKE HOW THEY DO THE, AT THE MARIGOLD WHERE THEY HAVE ALL THE FOOD TRUCKS IN THAT LITTLE PARKING AREA, AND THEN THE VENDORS AT THE TABLES, WAS THERE A COST ASSOCIATED FOR PARTICIPANTS AND IT WAS MOVING 
          [01:40:01]
KIND OF FAST. 
          I DIDN'T SEE THAT. 
          WHAT WERE WE CHARGING? UM, THE DIFFERENT VENDORS, AS LONG AS THEY WERE NOT SELLING ANYTHING, NOT IF, IF THEY'RE A NONPROFIT, THERE WAS NO COST. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE INVITATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS, LET'S GET THIS ON THE CALENDAR AND MAKE SURE WE'RE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS KIND OF EVENT. 
          AND THEN IN OUR NEXT MEETING, AND WE MAY BE ABLE TO HAVE A SPECIAL CONVERSATION WHERE WE CAN WORK OUT SOME OF THESE DETAILS, UM, AS OPPOSED TO TRYING TO DO IT HERE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A ONE HOUR MEETING. 
          UM, SOMETIME IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AFTER WE GET, UH, PERMISSION FROM THE, UH, COUNCIL. 
          SO I'LL TAKE A SECOND. 
          UM, WE HAVE AIRLINES HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          I GUESS MAYBE HE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING. 
          UM, YEAH, I DO HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE APPLICATIONS SELL, WOULD YOU SAY, UM, IN REGARDS TO THE APPLICATIONS, WHAT WAS THE DEADLINE LIKE? I HAVE PER THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING, THE IDENTICAL LET'S JUST SUBMIT THE APPLICANT BY FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. 
          SO IS IT ALONG LONG TIME FOR THE APPLICATIONS TO BE DONE, TO BE APPROVED? UM, FOR THE NUMBER OF VENDORS, WHAT WAS THE PROCESS? THE LAST TIME WE HAD STARTED GETTING THE APPLICATIONS BACK AND THEN COVID HIT. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE MAY HAVE, UM, THE VENDORS IN PLACE, IF THEY'RE STILL INTERESTED, WOULD YOU SAY, YEAH, I COULD PROBABLY REACH OUT TO CHERYL AND SANDY AND SEE WHEN YOU THINK MIA. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I CAN REACH OUT TO THE ONES THAT I HAD BROUGHT ALONG WITH, UM, WITH, UH, THE, I THINK IT WAS THE, IT WAS THE PANAMA DANCE GROUP, UH, FILIPINO DANCE GROUP. 
          AND THERE WAS, UM, I KNOW THE JAPANESE, JCL THE THINGS THAT WE COULD REACH OUT. 
          LIKE I SAID, TO DO THE GROUPS THAT I'M CONNECTED WITH, THAT I KNOW, I KNOW THE PEOPLE PERSONALLY, SO, UM, WE COULD DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO THEM AGAIN SAYING, HEY, THIS IS, AS SOON AS WE GET THE DATE CONFIRMED, THIS IS THE DATE THAT WE'RE PLANNING ON. 
          AND I KNOW CINDY KNOWS THE TURKISH REPRESENTATIVE THAT WAS WORKING WITH HER, SO WE DEFINITELY CAN REACH OUT TO, UM, TO THESE GROUPS AGAIN. 
          AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, THERE WAS A WHOLE LIST OF LISTS, A SPREADSHEET THAT I'LL HAVE TO LOOK UP ON THE, UM, LOOK UP AND SEE WHERE I CAN FIND. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LET'S LET'S SO LET'S DO THAT. 
          LET'S GET IT, UM, IN FRONT OF THE, UH, COMMISSION TOMORROW. 
          UM, AND THEN SEE IF, UH, YOU, AMANDA CAN GET IT APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL. 
          LET'S GET ALL OF THAT BUTTONED DOWN IN THE DATE, MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN STILL DO THIS EVENT, EVEN WITH THE VACCINE OUT THERE. 
          AND HOPEFULLY BY JUNE 12TH, UH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS EVENT IN THE PUBLIC. 
          AND WE'LL, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WE'LL SEE, UM, INVITATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL, WELL, LET, LET'S CREATE THOSE BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME, A LITTLE BIT OF CREATIVITY, UM, TO DO THE INVITATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. 
          IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE FLYERS, BUT WE'LL, UM, WE'LL WAIT TILL WE GET PERMISSION TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO DO THIS EVENT FIRST BEFORE WE DO THAT. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS AWARE THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS EVENT, WE START GETTING THOSE APPLICATIONS OUT THERE TO DRUM UP SOME INTEREST IN HAVING PARTICIPANTS, AND THEN WE'LL PUSH IT OUT TO THE, TO THE LARGER COMMUNITY. 
          SOMEBODY WAS ABOUT TO ASK A QUESTION, DO A, UH, A TENTATIVE FLYER. 
          OKAY, THANKS. 
          I'LL WORK ON THAT TO SHOW TENTATIVE IS GOOD. 
          MULTICULTURAL PROGRAMMING IS MY THING. 
          UM, AND FRED, ONE OF THE THINGS I DID SUGGEST TO YOLANDA WITH THESE EVENTS IS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I, I WAS A CHAMPION FOR, WITH A AND B WHEN THESE EVENTS, UM, AND NOT TO SAY THAT ALL OF US AREN'T PARTICIPATING, BUT SO THAT THE LEAD WOULD BE ABLE TO 
          [01:45:01]
DELEGATE WHO WOULD DO WHAT, AND SO THAT WE COULD WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS, KEEPING TIMELINES AND EVERYTHING. 
          SO I THINK MIA WOULD BE A GREAT LEAD TAM, SORRY TO VOLUN-TOLD, BUT I KNOW YOU WERE HELPING US A LOT WITH A AND B ON THIS, AND I KNOW BASED UPON WHAT YOU DO FOR WRIGHT STATE, YOU WOULD BE A GREAT LEAD FOR THIS. 
          UM, SO TOMORROW I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO VOLUNTOLD YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M, I'M ALL FOR THIS. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS ONE EVENT THAT I'M, UM, THAT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE IN THE CITY TO HOST, AND I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WHEN COVID SHUT, SHUT DOWN. 
          WHAT WE HAD WAS FINALLY GOING TO HAVE MY FIRST EVENT. 
          SO YEAH, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, PLEASE, AND, AND NOW I'M GOING TO SAY THANK YOU AND STAY UP. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO IS ANYTHING ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO ADD IN RELATIVE TO THE, UM, TO THE, UH, THE EVENT? ALL RIGHT. 
          MOVING TO THE NEXT ITEM, NEW BUSINESS ITEM FIVE, LET'S SEE, HEY, COME GET THIS RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          COMMEMORATIVE OBSERVANCES. 
          AND I SENT THAT LIST OUT TO YOU ALL. 
          UM, AND THE REASON I DID IS BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIND US, I WANTED US TO FIND DIFFERENT THINGS TO CELEBRATE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE MONTH TO RECOGNIZE, UM, THE DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT ARE BEING RECOGNIZED BY THIS, UM, THE, UH, THE, WHO IS THE FIRST CITY CENTRAL.COM. 
          AND, UM, THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS IS WHERE I GOT THESE FROM. 
          SO JANUARY, FEBRUARY, OF COURSE, IT'S AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, MARCH IS IRISH AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. 
          AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ IT TO YOU, BUT IF YOU KNOW OF ANYTHING ELSE THAT I MAY HAVE OMITTED FROM THAT LIST, I SEE THAT JULY, AUGUST, AS WELL AS JANUARY ARE EMPTY. 
          SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED THAT I MIGHT'VE MISSED, UM, A PARTICULAR GROUP THAT YOU KNOW OF THAT I LIKED, UM, FEBRUARY 12TH IS LUNAR NEW YEAR, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT HOLIDAY FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND, UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE AN EVENT WE COULD, LIKE I DID FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WAS HIGHLIGHT OUR LATINO OWNED BUSINESSES ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU KNOW, TO TELL THEM, TO COME VISIT TO THESE HELP, TO CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, VISIT OUR LATINO OWNED, YOU KNOW, THESE LATINO OWNED BUSINESSES. 
          WE COULD DO THE SAME THING WITH OUR ASIAN BUSINESSES. 
          UM, THAT THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT HOLIDAY. 
          MARCH 8TH IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. 
          SO WE ARE PARTS OF WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH THAT WHOLE MONTH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, BUT, UH, BUT THE AA SPECIFICALLY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS. 
          I KNOW THE COMMUNITY DOES SOMETHING YOU NEED AS USUALLY THEY HOSTED AT UNI, BUT, UM, OKAY. 
          LIKE A WOMEN'S OUTING. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT COVID WITH COVID I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'LL THEY'LL DO THIS YEAR. 
          SO, BUT, UM, AND I'M TRYING TO THINK OF SOME OTHER, UH, MAY IS ASIAN AND ASIAN AND ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER MONTH. 
          AND WE HAVE THAT THERE AND JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH AS WELL. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THEN WHEN WE SAID APRIL WAS MINORITY HISTORY, MINORITY HEALTH, MINORITY HEALTH ISSUES, AND NATIONAL DEAF HISTORY MONTH IS FROM MARCH 13 THROUGH APRIL 15TH WHERE IT CROSSES MONTHS. 
          YEAH. 
          JUNE 10TH, THE PRIDE THAT IS LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER, AND QUEER PRIDE MONTH AS LISTED BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, JULY. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN SHORT, WE CAN MAKE THAT A GO ME A MONTH. 
          WE CAN DO THAT AS YOU CELEBRATE ALONG WITH THE BIRTH OF OUR NATION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO BASICALLY, UM, MR. CHAIR, YOU JUST WANT THE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THAT EMAIL THAT HAS A CALENDAR OF ALL THE VARIOUS MONTHS AND OBSERVANCES, IF THERE'S ANY OTHER TYPE OF, UM, SHARE OR ETHNIC GROUPS THAT IS CELEBRATED, THAT'S NOT ON THERE, WE JUST SEND THOSE TO YOU. 
          AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS SEND THIS TO HIM. 
          CAUSE WE HAD MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS MEETING ABOUT DIVERSITY PAGE ON 
          [01:50:01]
THE WEBSITE, SOME COULD BE INCLUDED IN THERE AS WELL. 
          AND HOW CAN WE CELEBRATE THAT COMMUNITY? YEAH. 
          I'M AND I'M ALREADY CREATING GRAPHICS FOR A LOT OF THIS TO DO, FOR, TO DO SOCIAL MEDIA POSTING. 
          SO I CAN ALWAYS, UM, YOU KNOW, RE EDIT SOME OF THOSE GRAPHICS TO PUT THE HUBER, OUR COMMISSION LOGO ON IT, INSTEAD OF RIGHT STATES' LOGO. 
          AND THEN WE CAN USE THAT SAME GRAPHIC ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. 
          SO THAT RATHER THAN REINVENTING, LIKE YOU SAID, I'M ALREADY DOING THE WORK. 
          SO I DON'T MIND SHARING THOSE GRAPHICS THAT WAY. 
          WE CAN ALSO PUT IT ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES TO, TO GIVE YOU A ARTISTIC CREDIT FOR, UH, BUT NOT ON IT. 
          WE GOT TO PUT IT ON THERE SOMEWHERE MIA FROM WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          I DON'T WANT TO STEAL ANYBODY AT WORK. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ITEM B NEW ACTIVITIES. 
          UM, IN ADDITION TO THE, UH, TO TAKE, INCLUDING THIS INFORMATION ON THE WEBSITE, ONCE THAT DIVERSITY CORNER, IF YOU WOULD, HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, UM, AND THE, UM, UH, A COUPLE OF THE TWO, TWO THINGS THAT WE ARE PLANNING IN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF JUNE, I'LL SAY, UH, LET'S SPEND THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IF YOU CAN COME UP WITH, WITH ACTIVITIES. 
          UM, OR IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE, PARTICULARLY IN YOUR RIGHTS THAT WE CAN PAY SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO AND MAY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PLAN SOMETHING. 
          UM, JUST LET ME KNOW. 
          WE CAN PUT IT ON THE CALENDAR OR ANY AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING, AND WE'LL, WE'LL KICK THAT AROUND AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. 
          SO UNDER NEW ACTIVITIES, WE'LL, WE'LL ASK AN OPEN THAT UP FOR THE, UH, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION AS WELL TOMORROW. 
          SO IF THEY, IF THERE'S THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO DO SPECIFICALLY, AS IT RELATES TO OUTREACH, UM, LET'S, LET'S GATHER THEIR OPINIONS AS WELL. 
          DID WE LOOK AT, WERE WE LOOKING AT DOING, I THINK IT WAS RHONDA SUGGESTION, THEN I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT WAS AN ESSAY CONTEST FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT, DIDN'T WE? YEAH, WE DID. 
          WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO, IF WE CAN GET THE SCHOOLS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO GO BACK TO SO SECOND SESSION, BUT THEY GO, THOSE THAT ARE GOING BACK TO THE CAMPUS, GO BACK ON THE NINTH SEAT. 
          WELL, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, UM, JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS, I BELIEVE, UH, FOR AN ESSAY CONTEST FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, UM, COME UP WITH, AND I DON'T KNOW, WE MIGHT WANT TO PULL ONE OF THE TEACHERS IN THERE TO GET A LITTLE ASSISTANCE WITH WHAT THAT TOPIC IS GOING TO BE. 
          SO IF WE GIVE THEM A TOPIC AND ASK THEM TO WRITE ON THAT TOPIC, THEN IT'S EASIER TO, TO, UM, TO, TO COMPARE THE, A, THE, THE ESSAYS, AS OPPOSED TO SAYING, HEY, WRITE ABOUT THIS PERSON OR THAT PERSON. 
          UM, IF WE COME UP WITH TOPICS, IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING ELSE. 
          SO, UM, IS ANY ONE OF YOU CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WITH ANY OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS SPECIFICALLY IN WRITING? MY DAUGHTER WENT TO THIS SCHOOL AND I'M SURE SHE, SHE CAN GIVE ME THE NAME OF PROBABLY ALL OF THE TEACHERS AND SHE HAD, UM, AND THIS IS WHERE I THINK WE CAN ALSO INCLUDE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND GET THEM TO GET SOME SERVICE CREDIT. 
          UH, SHE FOR ONE NEED SOME, SO THIS IS A PROJECT THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HAND OFF TO HER AND ASK HER TO GET THE NAME OF THE TEACHER, POSSIBLY EVEN PUT SOME TOPICS TOGETHER, SOME IDEAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DO SERVICE LEARNING. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THAT, THAT, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA TO HAVE THE YOUNG GROUPS, CAUSE I KNOW SOME OF OUR, UH, OR JUNE TEACHERS HAVE TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT TOO. 
          SO YEAH. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO ALL OF THAT AND INVOLVE KIDS TO DO AN ESSAY, RIGHT. 
          BECAUSE WE'RE ASKING THEM TO GET INFORMATION, TO BRING BACK TO US TO SO WE CAN CREATE THE PARAMETERS OF THIS CONTEST IN TIME ENOUGH FOR, WELL, I GUESS IT MIGHT BE IF WE GET THAT DONE BY THE END OF JANUARY AND PRESENT THIS TO THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS SOMETIME IN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, UM, IT WOULD GIVE US ENOUGH TIME. 
          THEY CAN DO THE ESSAYS IN FEBRUARY AND THEN LIKE MID FEBRUARY, WE'VE HAD AN UPTIME WE'VE WORKED UNDER LISTS OR CONDITIONS. 
          [01:55:04]
THIS IS A NON-PROFIT IT'S THE CITY, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING LIKE WE ARE GRASSROOTS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. 
          YVONNE DOES THE PRINCIPAL OF WISE AND HAVE A LISTING OF ALL THE SCHOOL STAFF, YOU YVONNE EDWARDS AND THAT ON THIS, ON THE WEBSITE, THERE IS A LISTING OF ALL OF YOU CAN LOOK UP DIFFERENT TEACHERS IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN WHAT WE CAN DO IS THIS, IF WE REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOL, THE PRINCIPAL, WE CAN ASK THEM TO MAKE THIS PART OF THE, FOR THEIR CLASS. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW A LOT OF THEM ARE WORKING IN PERSON AND HYBRID, SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO, YOU KNOW, YEAH. 
          I SAY, YOU KNOW, WE CAN SEE IF THIS CAN BE ACTUALLY EXECUTED FOR THIS YEAR BASED ON THE TIME, BUT IF NOT, THIS CAN BE AN ONGOING THING EVERY YEAR. 
          THAT WILL BE PART OF THIS COMMITTEE AND THE COMMISSION AS A WHOLE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO NOW LET ME ASK CONSIDERATION FOR THE WINNERS OF THE CONTEST. 
          OH, Y'ALL GOT QUIET CONSIDERATION MEANS LIKE MONEY. 
          SO WHY DO WE, WHERE DO WE GET PRIZES FOR, OR INCENTIVES TO OFFER STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE OTHER THAN, OTHER THAN MAKING IT PART OF THE CURRICULUM? BECAUSE I KNOW AS AN EDUCATOR MYSELF, I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO MAKING SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING PART OF THEIR CURRICULUM. 
          IT SHOULD BE EXTRA CURRICULUM. 
          IT SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN, UM, IN THE GRADING OF A STUDENT, IF YOU WOULD, OKAY, IS THIS FOR JUNIOR HIGH OR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS? I WOULD SAY JUNIOR HIGH WHEN YOU'RE HIGH. 
          AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE CAN LOOK AT, UM, WE HAVE MORE TIME TO PUT DIFFERENT GROUP LEVELS. 
          LIKE WE COULD DO ART FOR THE YOUNGER KIDS AND THEN, YOU KNOW, UH, ESSAYS FOR OLDER, YOU KNOW, THEN WE CAN DO THAT NEXT YEAR. 
          BUT I THINK WITH THE TIME LIMIT NOW, UM, WE START JUNIOR HIGH AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS. 
          BUT I WOULD SAY PRICE WISE, WE WOULD, WE CAN REACH OUT TO THAT WAS THE LETTER. 
          UM, I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT LAST MONTH'S MEETING WAS TO GET THE LETTER FROM THE CITY THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO BUSINESSES. 
          SO THAT WAS OF A GENERAL PURPOSE, ALL ENCOMPASSING KIND OF A LETTER SO THAT WE ENGAGE WITH WHEN WE, AS WE ENGAGE WITH FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY, WE CAN REPRESENT THE, UH, THE, THE COMMITTEE OR THE COMMISSION AND LET THEM KNOW HOW AND WHY WE ARE DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          SO, I MEAN, YEAH, SO THAT MEANS LIKE ASKING WALMART OR TARGET OR WHOMEVER FOR, UM, DONATIONS TO, UM, WALMART HAS GIVEN US IN THE PAST, UH, BIKES AND STUFF, OR LIKE WHEN WE HAD OUR COSTUME CONTEST. 
          UM, SO WE'D DONE LIKE WE DID, WE DID CHILDREN'S COSTUME CON HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST FOR OUR MULTICULTURAL THING. 
          SO, UH, THOSE BUSINESSES, WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THEM, THAT'S WHAT THEY USUALLY GAVE US OR THEY GAVE US, UM, WE DON'T HAVE A TOYS R US ANYMORE, BUT TOYS R US ALWAYS GAVE US GIFT CARDS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          SO WE CAN DEFINITELY REACH OUT TO OUR, THE LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ASK THEM ON, UM, ON HOW THEY DO. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I WILL SHOOT AN EMAIL TO MS. EDWARDS AND ASK HER TO GIVE ME A CALL IN RELATION TO A, AND IT SAYS AN AWARD IS A NICE RESUME BUILDER FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGES. 
          SO WE DEFINITELY CAN GIVE THEM A PLAQUE, YOU KNOW, LIKE, UH, LIKE AN AWARD THAT THEY CAN WIN AS WELL TO PUT. 
          AND THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO WAYNE SPORTING GOODS. 
          THAT'S A LOCAL BUSINESS TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO DO MARSHA THAT, HER NAME. 
          SO THEY GOT A NEW OWNER, BUT, UM, BUT IT IS A COMMUNITY BUSINESS. 
          SO WE CAN REACH OUT TO SEE IF THEY'D BE WILLING TO, AND THEN ANY OF THESE BUSINESSES THAT WE DO THIS, WE DEFINITELY PUT THEIR LOGO AND THEIR NAME ON ALL THE ADVERTISEMENTS AS OFFICERS. 
          THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE MY GIRLS TOLD ME GOING THROUGH THE, THE SYSTEM WAYNE AND WHY ISN'T BORN, THEY DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. 
          UM, SO I THINK WITH OUR COMMISSION AND WITH THIS COMMITTEE, THIS IS AN ONGOING OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THOSE STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH, BUT HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, THAT THOSE STUDENTS ARE AWARE THAT THESE OBSERVANCES EXIST AND THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS. 
          GOOD. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO ANYBODY LET'S LET'S DO THIS. 
          EVERYBODY PICK A COMPANY THAT THEY CAN CALL, RIGHT. 
          TO ASK THEM FOR A DONATION 
          [02:00:01]
FOR A HIGH SCHOOL OR A MIDDLE SCHOOL, I GUESS IN JUNIOR HIGH, MIDDLE SCHOOL ESSAY CONTEST. 
          I WISH WE HAD TIME TO PUT A LETTER TOGETHER AND WE ALREADY HAVE ONE. 
          MR. FRED, WE GOT ONE AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE PRESENTED TOMORROW AT OUR MEETING, BUT THERE'S AN OFFICIAL LETTER. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LET'S HOLD OFF ON THAT THEN UNTIL WE HAVE ANOTHER DISCUSSION AFTERWARDS IN THE LETTER, THEN WE CAN MAIL THOSE OUT OR TAKE THEM TO THE DIFFERENT BUSINESSES THAT WE WANT TO, UM, SOLICIT. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S NOTHING OFFICIAL. 
          AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND ON THE RECORD, MY OFFICE WILL DONATE A GIFT BASKET OR PUT SOMETHING TOWARDS YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          MY ILANA, THE OP THE OFFICE OF LATIN X, ASIAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN AFFAIRS. 
          YES. 
          AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL DONATE $25. 
          YOU CAN PUT THAT DOWN. 
          YEAH. 
          I'LL GET SOMETHING TOGETHER AS A GIFT CARD OR WE'LL GET SOME RIGHT STAKES HERE OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW? SO ARE WE DEFINITELY GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS FOR 2021? YES. 
          YEAH. 
          I HAVEN'T SPENT ANYTHING THIS SEMESTER THIS YEAR, SO I WILL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO DO SOME STUFF, SO, YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I'LL WRITE MY DONATION DOWN CAUSE IT MIGHT NOT BE THERE NEXT MONTH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LET'S GET IT DONE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GOOD. 
          AND I'LL CALL MS. EDWARDS AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER TOMORROW. 
          THE NEXT DAY. 
          UM, LAST ITEM IS DISCUSSION OF A NEW LEADING TIME. 
          THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS TIME IS THIS IT'S THE DAY BEFORE THE COMMISSION MEETING. 
          AND I NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO BRIEF YOLANDA ON WHAT WE'RE DOING SO THAT SHE CAN MAKE CHANGES TO HER AGENDA. 
          SO THIS IS IT. 
          THIS IT'S TOO CLOSE. 
          WE NEED TO BACK IT UP. 
          SO MAYBE TO A MONDAY, THE FIRST MONDAY OR THE MONDAY, IF Y'ALL AVAILABLE OR EVEN, UM, MOVING IT TO A DIFFERENT DATE. 
          NOW, I WOULD SAY FOR ME PERSONALLY, THE FIRST WEEK OF THE MONTH IS ALWAYS CHALLENGING. 
          AND THE FIRST MONDAY OF THE MONTH, I ALWAYS HAVE A STANDING MEETING THAT I HAVE TO ATTEND FOR ANOTHER ORGANIZATION. 
          I BELONG. 
          WHAT IF WE SAY THE LAST MONDAY OF THE MONTH? AND THAT GIVES US A WEEK BEFORE A WEEK AND A HALF OR SO AT LEAST BEFORE, UM, THE COMMISSION MEETING. 
          AND THAT GIVES US TIME SOMETIMES. 
          CAUSE IF THE, AS I'M LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR, THE LAST MONDAY IS ON A DAY WHERE THE, YEAH, YEAH. 
          IT STARTS, IT COULD BE, THERE COULD BE DAYS, LITERALLY DAYS BEFORE THAT THURSDAY, BUT IT'S STILL BETTER THAN THE DAY BEFORE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND LIKE I SAID, WEDNESDAYS ARE OUT FOR ME FOR SMOKING, SO I'M OKAY WITH MONDAYS. 
          SO IT'S THE LAST MONDAY. 
          OKAY. 
          WITH EVERYONE. 
          YEP. 
          THAT'S FINE FOR ME. 
          I HATE TO BRING THIS UP, BUT I THINK CITY COUNCIL MEETS THE SECOND AND FOURTH MONDAY. 
          OH, WITH THEIR, WHAT ABOUT TUESDAY? THE LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH? YEAH. 
          I CAN DO IT TUESDAY.

          YEP. 
          I CAN DO THE LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE ARE GOING TO MOVE THIS TO THE LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH AND THAT ALSO IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW UP ON THE, UM, UH, THE ESSAY CONTEST. 
          UM, SO IF WE DO THIS ON THE LAST TUESDAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING ON THE 26TH. 
          SO IS EVERYBODY OKAY? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S OKAY WITH THAT. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          AND ED PUT SOMETHING IN THAT COMMENT ABOUT, LOOKING AHEAD, THINK ABOUT A BUDGET REQUEST FOR 2022 FOR OUR COMMITTEE AWARDS AND PROGRAMS. UM, BECAUSE THAT WAY THE STAFF CAN KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN THEY START WORKING ON THAT BUDGET IN JULY. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          SO WE START WORKING ON BUDGETS IN JULY NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          YEAH. 
          GOOD TO KNOW. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          I AGREE WITH THAT AS WELL. 
          LIKE A SCHOLARSHIP AWARD. 
          IS THAT WHAT I'M DUDE, WE HAD AWARDS, YOU KNOW, A SCHOLARSHIP WOULD BE GREAT TOO, IF WE CAN RAISE. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I AGREE TO THE SCHOLARSHIP. 
          I KNOW A LOT OF BUSINESSES ARE OPEN TO, UM, TO GIVE MORE FOR A SCHOLARSHIP THAN THEY ARE FOR A LOT OF TIMES OTHER THINGS. 
          SO THAT'S WHEN FUNDRAISER, I ALWAYS AM USUALLY PRETTY SUCCESSFUL AT IS SCHOLARSHIPS. 
          AND THEN THEY LOVE SEEING US. 
          [02:05:01]
AND THEN WHAT WE COULD DO IS LIKE AWARD THE SCHOLARSHIPS AND HIGHLIGHT THOSE USE THAT WE AWARD TO. 
          SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A DIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP THAT WE START FOR OUR STUDENTS OF COLOR. 
          SO IN OUR COMMUNITY, THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
